Hi all, we are happy to announce the release 2.0.1 of GNU Wget2.
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. Wget2 has the potential to download faster than Wget due to HTTP2,HTTP compression, parallel connections, use of If-Modified-Since HTTP header and more.
Wget2 has several new command-line options, see the wiki page for a list and comparison with Wget.
Wget will be maintained further. The idea is that breaking changes and new functionalities go into Wget2 / libwget.
Except for WARC and FTP, Wget2 is a drop-in replacement for Wget in most cases. Of course there may be subtle differences, so make sure to test well before replacing Wget by Wget2.
GNU Wget2 is licensed under GPLv3+. Libwget is licensed under LGPLv3+. **Noteworthy changes since the last release (see also the NEWS file):** * Fix escaping space in query part * Set EXIT_STATUS_NETWORK on error for the last try * Fix -k/--convert-links fragment * Fix escaping URLs with -k/--convert-links * Fix false reporting of a PSL error * Fix --directory-prefix with --content-disposition * Allow spaces and \ escaping in passwords in .netrc * Fix download abortion on some versions of Windows * Fix --unlink behavior * Fix deflate decompression when server omits the header * WolfSSL: Fix buffer overflow in SHA512 hashing * WolfSSL: Fix memory leak * Add support for unquoted HTML attribute values * OpenSSL: Fix several OCSP issues * Use keep-alive for HTTP/1.1 and higher as default * Don't create core dumps on CTRL-c * Fix replacing Content-Type: headers * Fix NULL pointer read / segfault * Fix several build issues * Fix several documentation issues **Download** https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget2-2.0.1.tar.gz https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget2-2.0.1.tar.lz **Signatures (GPG key 0x08302DB6A2670428)** https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget2-2.0.1.tar.gz.sig https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget2-2.0.1.tar.lz.sig **Project Website** https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2 **Online Documentation** https://gnuwget.gitlab.io/wget2/reference/ **Wiki** https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2/-/wikis/Home **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
