The project GNU Wget2 2.3.0 has been released, introducing a completely redesigned version of the program aimed at automating the recursive loading of content in GNU Wget. This new version, Wget2, offers a range of additional features including support for downloading in multiple threads, integration with the libwget library, compatibility with HTTP/2 and TLS 1.3 protocols, the ability to download only changed data, support for saving data from streaming servers, correct handling of internationalized domain names, and the ability to transcode downloaded content. The utility is licensed under GPLv3+ while the library is licensed under LGPLv3+.
The focus of the new release is on bug fixes, as well as several changes in functionality. These changes include enhanced support for the OS/2 platform, the conversion of links to CSS when using the “–convert-links” option, support for the srcdoc attribute in the iframe element, parsing of data-src and data-srcset HTML tags, the “–spider -S” option to display headers without loading content, and the “–progress=dot” option for visualizing download progress.
