8A couple of very small changes were made to this package by Stefan Boddie
9([email protected]). The USE_STDARG preprocessor definition was
10added to the VC++ makefile as it appeared to need it to compile on either
11VC++ 4.2 or VC++ 6.0. A change was also made to prevent backslashes from
12mistakenly being converted to "@5c" on windows.

142003/11/27 - [email protected] made a few more small changes to fix
15h_errno bug preventing code from compiling on latest versions of GCC.
16
172004/06/30 - [email protected] replaced version 1.5.3 with version 1.9.
18It compiled as is under Windows XP, using VC++ 6.0, under Linux using GCC 3.2.3 and GCC 2.95.3. So I haven't made any changes.
19Under Windows, I haven't compiled it with openssl, so it doesn't support https://. OpenSSL comes with a warning about it being illegal in some countries to distribute cryptographic technology, so I haven't used it. Look at wget-1.9/windows/README for Windows compiling instructions if you want to add it in.

212008/07/03 - [email protected] replaced version 1.9 with version 1.11.4.
22Version 1.9 didn't compile statically with the new libraries which come with fedora, so upgrading. Everything left as is. Not too much seems to have changed since 1.9 so I'm assuming this new version will compile under windows just the same as 1.9 does. The packages/configure and packages/Makefile files perform the same operations on wget as before, just the directory name has changed from wget/wget-1.9 to wget/wget-1.11.4
