Version 2.2.0 - 2000-03-28

* URLs are now handled in more places: `get URL1 -o URL2', `login URL',
  `glob URL', `cat URL', `mget URL/*', etc. Setting xfer:use-urls is obsolete,
  option -u is also obsolete but accepted for compatibility. Completion
  also works on URLs. `login URL' can be used to cache password for further
  URL usage.
* new settings xfer:eta-period and xfer:rate-period for calculation of eta
  and current rate.
* ascii mode transfers - `get -a', `put -a' etc.
* new settings net:connection-limit and net:connection-takeover to limit
  number of connections to the same site and allow take-over of background
  connections being used to do foreground operations.
* new setting ftp:use-abor. (default: yes) If set to no, lftp does not send
  ABOR command but closes data connection immediately.
* new settings net:reconnect-interval-multiplier and net:reconnect-interval-max,
  reconnect-interval renamed to reconnect-interval-base. It is possible to
  use short names, e.g. recon-int-b, recon-int-mul, recon-int-max.
* new setting ftp:list-options to append to every LIST command. E.g. it can
  be useful for some sites to set it to `-a'. Default is empty.
* new setting ftp:rest-stor (default: yes) to avoid file corruption
  on some old and buggy ftp servers after restarted upload.
* new setting net:no-proxy. It contains comma separated list of domains.
  Environment variable no_proxy is copied to net:no-proxy on startup.
* `glob' command can now select files by type. By default wildcards are
  expanded to list of plain files, option `-d' makes it expand to directories
  and `-a' - to files and directories.
* Commands `get', `put', `mget' and `mput' now have an option `-O base'
  which specifies base directory or URL to which the files should be placed.
* ftp to ftp (FXP) copying is now easy, e.g. `get ftp://... -o ftp://...' or
  `put ftp://...'. The command `ftpcopy' is now obsolete.
  New settings: ftp:use-fxp, ftp:fxp-passive-source. It does not work
  for some servers, so use `set ftp:use-fxp no' for them. FXP is also tried
  both ways - with passive and active source, if both fail it falls back to
  simple copy.
* now lftp remembers that commands MDTM, SIZE or SITE CHMOD are not supported
  by the server, and does not send them again.
* if password is entered on command line it is supposed to be insecure and is
  printed on screen and entered into bookmarks automatically.
* slightly better VMS support.
* EPLF listing format is now understood. It is used by anonftpd
  (e.g. ftp://vgsn.glasnet.ru).
* in globbing, if list restart is not used, don't skip list beginning but
  rather use it instead of previously received.
* ftp and hftp URLs are now assumed to have home-relative path. To write
  root-relative path in such URLs, use ftp://site/%2Fpath.
* new setting dns:use-fork. When true, lftp does fork before gethostbyname
  (as in previous versions) to allow instant interrupting and asynchronousity.
  (default is true)
* new setting cmd:default-protocol. The value is used when open is used
  with just host name without protocol. Default is `ftp'.
* new setting ftp:port-range for active mode port range (useful for firewalls).
* mirror --use-cache to allow mirror to use directory listing cache.
* check file names in ftp listings for slashes, don't use file names with
  slashes.
* ftp REST bug workaround - send REST 0 if last REST was >0.
* ftp server's 19100 in MDTM bug workaround.
* fixed completion and file name globbing for wu-ftpd-2.6.0. A long standing
  bug with multiple path component globbing over ftp has also been fixed.
