> 
> * Changes in Wget 1.20
> 
> ** Add new option `--retry-on-host-error` to treat local errors as transient
> and hence Wget will retry to download the file after a brief waiting period.
> 
> ** Fixed multiple potential resource leaks as found by static analysis
> 
> ** Wget will now not create an empty wget-log file when running with -q and -b
> switches together
> 
> ** When compiled using the GnuTLS >= 3.6.3, Wget now has support for TLSv1.3
> 
> ** Now there is support for using libpcre2 for regex pattern matching
> 
> ** When downloading over FTP recursively, one can now use the
> --{accept,reject}-regex switches to fine-tune the downloaded files
> 
> ** Building Wget from the git sources now requires autoconf 2.63 or above.
> Building from the Tarballs works as it used to.
