We would like to announce GNU Wget 1.19.4.
This is a bug fix version that fixes a major bug with v1.19.3.
With v1.19.3 Wget would request the origin server for a gzip compressed
document. However, due to a logic bug, it would never decompress it for the
user. This caused almost all downloads to break.
As it turns out, implementing gzip support is not trivial; especially in the
face of many buggy servers that we have to support. Hence, for the time being,
connection compression support has been marked as experimental and disabled by
default.

Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:

Here are the MD5 and SHA1 checksums:

[*] 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-1.19.4.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
