1Fixes in 1.0.6:
2- -f works with binary files
3- w3mir will no longer use 'Referer: (commandline)' when a URL is derived
4 from the commandline/config file.
5- More errormessage fixes
6- Fixed install instructions to warn against LWP 5.40.
7
8Fixes in 1.0.5:
9- Better error-messaged in -quiet mode
10- Fixed quoting. Both " and ' quotes in documents are accepted.
11- Fixed timeout handling.
12- Fixed broken connection handling. Incomplete documents are
13 deleted and retried.
14- Fixed URL mangling problem. In 1.0.3 URLs like ``foo.html#bar'' would
15 be rewritten to ``#bar''. This is quite bad and makes a lot of mirrors
16 un-useable.
17- -v now prints LWPs version as well as w3mirs version

19Features/bugs in 1.0.5
20- As earlier, w3mir does not support cookies. I have received a patch for
21 basic cookie support but have not yet incorporated it due to
22 time-restraints.
23- There actually exists web servers that break the HTTP standard rather
24 thoroughly by not sending a Content-type header (this is mandatory in
25 the standard). W3mir will not discover that a HTML file is HTML in this
26 case and will not extract URLs from it.
27- If you rewrite the ending filename URLs with Apply rules (as in
28 index.htm -> index.html) and there are links to index.htm#foo the link
29 will be incorrect after mirroring. The solution is to avoid those
30 kinds of rules. This was meant to be fixed in 1.0.3 (which broke it as
31 described above), I will fix it when I get more time. The fix is to
32 remove the #fragment part of URLs when they pass thru the apply
33 machinery. Patches accepted.
34
35Fixes in 1.0.3:
36- The -R/remove option to remove files is no longer more destructive
37 than intended.
38- Files with 'unsafe' characters in their filename is now saved as
39 "foo bar" instead of "foo%20bar"
40- The -B switch works once again.
41
42Fixes in 1.0.2:
43- W3mir now only newline converts HTML files, all other files are handled
44 as binary. This should ensure file-integrety even when working with
45 mis-configured servers.
46
47Fixes in 1.0.1:
48-fa option and corresponding configuration file directive works again.
49- Added -nnc option and a corresponding configuration file directive. It
50 disables newline conversions, which could corrupt files the Webserver
51 mis-declares. The HOWTO explains the uses of -nnc
