| 1 | +Hi, |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +we are happy to announce the release 2.1.0 of GNU Wget2. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Wget2 is the successor of GNU Wget, a file and recursive website |
| 6 | +downloader. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Designed and written from scratch it wraps around libwget, that provides |
| 9 | +the basic functions needed by a web client. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +Wget2 works multi-threaded and uses many features to allow fast operation. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +In many cases Wget2 downloads much faster than Wget due to HTTP2, |
| 14 | +HTTP compression, parallel connections, use of If-Modified-Since HTTP header |
| 15 | +and more. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Wget2 has several new command-line options, see the wiki page for a list and |
| 18 | +comparison with Wget. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Wget will be maintained further. The idea is that breaking changes and new |
| 21 | +functionalities go into Wget2 / libwget. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Except for WARC and FTP, Wget2 is a drop-in replacement for Wget in most cases. |
| 24 | +Of course there may be subtle differences, so make sure to test well before |
| 25 | +replacing Wget by Wget2. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +GNU Wget2 is licensed under GPLv3+. Libwget is licensed under LGPLv3+. |
