Hash: SHA1

A new release of wget, 1.11.3-1, is available, leaving 1.10.2-2 as previous.

NEWS:
=====
This is a new upstream release.  A summary of upstream changes is
attached.  This version is built for cygwin 1.5.x, and thus does not
support IPv6 (I will also provide 1.11.3-2 for people testing the eventual
cygwin 1.7.0 release).  See also the package documentation in
/usr/share/doc/wget-1.11.3/.

DESCRIPTION:
============
GNU Wget is a file retrieval utility which can use either the HTTP, HTTPS,
or FTP protocols. Wget features include the ability to work in the
background while you're logged out, recursive retrieval of directories,
file name wildcard matching, remote file timestamp storage and comparison,
use of Rest with FTP servers and Range with HTTP servers to retrieve files
over slow or unstable connections, support for Proxy servers, and
configurability.

UPDATE:
=======
To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the
http://cygwin.com/ web page.  This downloads setup.exe to your system.
Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'wget' from
the 'Web' category.

DOWNLOAD:
=========
Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't
allowed due to bandwidth limitations.  This means that you will need to
find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you:
http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html

QUESTIONS:
==========
If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.
