wget-1.16.3

[bdubbs@…]

New point version:

​http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.16.3.tar.xz

[Pierre Labastie]

* Noteworthy changes in Wget 1.16.2

** Native uuid generation on Windows.

** Fix build on Solaris.

** Allow progress bar on stderr when -o is used.

** Accept 5-digit port numbers in FTP EPSV responses.

** Support older versions of flex.

** Updated translations.

We suggest packagers to start using libpsl[1] which is supported by wget
since version 1.16 to check the public suffix list[2].

This release addresses a regression introduced with Wget 1.16.2 that
made wget prints some messages even when --quiet was specified.  Now
--quiet is quiet again.

I may be missing something, but I do not see where Dante (which is mentionned as an optional dep) can be used: no configure switch for socks, no reference to the Dante libraries in configure, no difference in the resulting DESTDIR when buildind with or without Dante installed. So, I will remove that, unless somebody speaks out. Maybe it is used only on Windows...

Must be something left over from an old version. When I do a case insensitive grep for dante in the source, I get nothing.

Sometimes a good place to check is configure.ac. In this case, no hint of dante.

One more thing: When valgrind is used for tests, the tests using SSL fail if openssl is used (some memory leak in libcrypto), while they do not fail if gnutls is used. Should we move to recommend gnutls rather than openssl? That also removes one switch from the configure instructions...

[bdubbs@…]

I've been hearing some not-so-good things about the openssl code base lately. It would be reasonable to prefer gnutls.

Not true anymore with 1.16.3... Let's keep using openssl.

I should sleep more: I had forgotten the --enable-valgrind-tests switch! Still true with 1.16.3.

OK thanks for the info.
