Hi, we, the maintainers, are happy to announce the release 1.99.2 of GNU Wget2. GNU Wget2 is the successor of GNU Wget, a file and recursive website downloader. Designed and written from scratch it wraps around libwget, that provides the basic functions needed by a web client. Wget2 works multi-threaded and uses many features to allow fast operation. In many cases Wget2 downloads much faster than Wget1.x due to HTTP2, HTTP compression, parallel connections and use of If-Modified-Since HTTP header. GNU Wget2 is licensed under GPLv3+. Libwget is licensed under LGPLv3+. Thanks to all authors that made this release possible (list auto-generated, sorted by # of commits). Also many thanks to all contributors and translators who are not listed in git meta data. ``` Tim Rühsen Darshit Shah Kumar Mallikarjuna DalmeGNU Ander Juaristi Josef Moellers Neil Locketz Rohan Fletcher Tsukasa OI Gisle Vanem Leif Ryge Leon Klingele Rafael Fontenelle Yuri Chornoivan sameeran joshi sebma ``` **Noteworthy changes since the last release:** ``` * Improve docs * Improve build system * More continuous integration testing * Add functionality tests * Add examples * Add HTTP/2 support for test suite (GSOC project) * Add OCSP responder for test suite (GSOC project) * Add new option --keep-extension * Add new option --retry-on-http-status * Add new option --dns-cache-preload * Add -X/--exclude-directories and -I/--include-directories * Add new option --save-content-on * Add new option --limit-rate * Add new option --unlink (Wget1.x compatibility) * Add new option --start-pos (Wget1.x compatibility) * Add new option --no-if-modified-since * Add new option --ocsp-server * Add new option --ocsp-nonce * Add new option --ocsp-date * Add bitmap type to libwget * Add support for Chromium's HSTS Preload List * Add zstd decompression (RFC8478) * Add WolfSSL as alternative TLS backend * Add OpenSSL as alternative TLS backend * Add arguments fail / nofail to --verify-sig * Add TLSv1_x to --secure-protocol * Add support for TCP FastOpen Linux 4.11+ style * Add basic HTML entity decoding (RFC1866) * Add TLS 1.3 post-handshake authentication * Add XDG Desktop Specification support for config files * Remove support for libidn2 < 0.14 and libunistring * Remove option --gnutls-options (use --secure-protocol instead) * Rename --dns-caching to --dns-cache (Wget1.x compatibility) * Skip -np/--no-parent for CSS URLs * Enable syncing with translationproject.org while bootstrapping * Fix HTTP/2 slowness issue * Fix xattr behavior (CVE-2018-20483) * Fixed a pile of bugs * Made many changes to the libwget API ``` **Download** https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget2-1.99.2.tar.gz https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget2-1.99.2.tar.lz **Signatures (GPG key 0x08302DB6A2670428)** https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget2-1.99.2.tar.gz.sig https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget2-1.99.2.tar.lz.sig **Project Website** https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2 **Online Documentation** https://gnuwget.gitlab.io/wget2/reference/ **Mailing List** https://savannah.gnu.org/mail/?group=wget **Bug Tracker** https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2/issues **Getting the Source Code (Development)** git clone https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2.git **Source Code Test Coverage** https://gnuwget.gitlab.io/wget2/coverage/ **Fuzz Code Coverage** https://gnuwget.gitlab.io/wget2/fuzz-coverage/ With Best Regards, Tim Rühsen
