[Bug-wget] wget-1.20 released [stable]

[Darshit Shah]

We are pleased to announce the release of GNU Wget 1.20.

GNU Wget is a free utility for non-interactive download of files from the Web.
It supports HTTP(S), and FTP(S) protocols, as well as retrieval through HTTP
proxies.

This is a small release with some bugfixes and a few quality of life
improvements.

With this announcement, I'd also like to state that from now on, the latest
tarball of GNU Wget can always be attained using the following link:

https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-latest.tar.gz
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-latest.tar.gz.sig

[*] 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-1.20.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 1.20

** Add new option `--retry-on-host-error` to treat local errors as transient
and hence Wget will retry to download the file after a brief waiting period.

** Fixed multiple potential resource leaks as found by static analysis

** Wget will now not create an empty wget-log file when running with -q and -b
switches together

** When compiled using the GnuTLS >= 3.6.3, Wget now has support for TLSv1.3

** Now there is support for using libpcre2 for regex pattern matching

** When downloading over FTP recursively, one can now use the
--{accept,reject}-regex switches to fine-tune the downloaded files

** Building Wget from the git sources now requires autoconf 2.63 or above.
Building from the Tarballs works as it used to.
