wget-1.21.2 released [stable]

[Darshit Shah]

We are pleased to announce the release of GNU Wget 1.21.2

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 minor bugfix release.

Here are the SHA1 and SHA256 checksums:

FyejMKhqyss+V2Fc4mj18pl4v3rexKvmow03Age8kbM  wget-1.21.2.tar.lz

The SHA256 checksum is base64 encoded, instead of the
hexadecimal encoding that most checksum tools default to.

[*] 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-1.21.2.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 64FF90AAE8C70AF9

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

This release was bootstrapped with the following tools:
  Autoconf 2.71
