============================
0.6c4
+ * Added support for HTTP "Basic" authentication using ``http://user:pass@host``
+ URLs. If a password-protected page contains links to the same host (and
+ protocol), those links will inherit the credentials used to access the
+ original page.
+
* Removed all special support for Sourceforge mirrors, as Sourceforge's
mirror system now works well for non-browser downloads.
