#1474 — wget-1.19.4 released [stable]

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

We would like to announce GNU Wget 1.19.4.

This is a bug fix version that fixes a major bug with v1.19.3.
With v1.19.3 Wget would request the origin server for a gzip compressed
document. However, due to a logic bug, it would never decompress it for the
user. This caused almost all downloads to break.

As it turns out, implementing gzip support is not trivial; especially in the
face of many buggy servers that we have to support. Hence, for the time being,
connection compression support has been marked as experimental and disabled by
default.

==============================================================================

Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]:
  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.19.4.tar.gz
  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.19.4.tar.gz.sig

Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
  https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/wget/wget-1.19.4.tar.gz
  https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/wget/wget-1.19.4.tar.gz.sig

Here are the MD5 and SHA1 checksums:

e044d97067298662a277986b58a42211  wget-1.19.4.tar.gz
cace624a5edc6168557d9507903cb794111aa9d4  wget-1.19.4.tar.gz

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify wget-1.19.4.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 2A1743EDA91A35B6

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

NEWS

* Changes in Wget 1.19.4
