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.
In many cases Wget2 downloads much 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+.
