+# Changelog
+
+## [UNRELEASED]
+ * New parameter `-o|-O|--output|output=` which allows the user to choose the output filename.
+ * Default to `index.html` as filename if none can be inferred from the URL.
+ * Percent-decode output filenames by default.
+ * New option to disable percent-decoding of output filenames: `--no-decode-filename`.
+ * Fix typo in the list of features of the manpage.
+ * README/manpage: Point to the curl issue tracker.
+ * README:
+   - Add a missing dash to the `--dry-run` command.
+   - Add a logo.
+   - Add a brief section explaining about our testsuite.
+   - Remove HTML `<a name>` anchors.
+ * Symlink LICENSE to LICENSES/curl.txt.
+ * Update AUTHORS.
+
+## [v2024.07.10]
+ * Change versioning to use dots as separators instead of dashes:
+     - Previous version: `2024-07-07`.
+     - New version: `2024.07.10`.
+ * Support older curl releases, minimum required version is now 7.46.0:
+     - Only set `--no-clobber` if curl is 7.83 or newer.
+     - Only set `--parallel` if curl is 7.66 or newer.
+ * Set `--fail` when invoking curl, in order to display possible errors instead of saving them as
+   output files.
+ * Add more tests.
+ * Remove the need for GNU coreutils' `realpath` for tests.
+ * Update manpage with links to Github and Debian's Salsa.
+ * Update LICENSE file with new contributors.
+
+## [v2024-07-07]
+ * Drop `getopt` usage, non-GNU/Linux environments are supported now.
+ * Replace `-o`/`--opts=` parameters with `--curl-options`/`--curl-options=`.
+   This alternative is more descriptive and it does not coincide with any of curl's parameters.
+ * Stop auto-resuming downloads and don't overwrite files instead by default.
+   Safer alternative as otherwise curl can corrupt a file if the name clashes and the size of the existing one is smaller.
+   One can easily change that behavior with `--curl-options="--continue-at -"`.
+ * New `--dry-run` option: just print what would be invoked.
+ * Choose HTTPS as a default protocol, in case there's none in the URL.
+ * Disable curl's URL globbing parser so `{}` and `[]` characters in URLs are not treated specially.
+ * Implement support for `--`.
+ * Implement `-V`/`--version` options.
+ * Basic testsuite implemented.
+ * Update manpage, README and help output.
+
+## [v2024-07-02]
+ * First "public" release, announcing the project.
+ * Use `exec` instead of `eval`.
+ * Only set `--parallel` if there's more than one URL.
+ * Fix manpage typo.
+ * Update COPYRIGHT and AUTHORS in manpage.
+ * Rewrite wcurl to remove bash dependency, it's now a POSIX shell script.
+ * Add README.md.
+ * Add LICENSE.
+
+## [v2024-06-26]
+ * Simplify `--help` output.
+ * Download multiple URLs in parallel.
+ * Use remote timestamp for output file.
+ * Update REPORTING BUGS section of the manpage.
+
+## [v2024-05-14]
+ * First release.
