The changes are as follows:

Support was added for HTTP/1.1. Persistent connections are used with proxies
which support them. The GNU TLS backend now works again and has been made
default vs. OpenSSL. Now "--timestamping" and "--continue" work well together.
By default, wget now uses the original URL to get the local filename on server
redirects, to address the security vulnerability reported as CVE-2010-2252.
Portability issues were fixed. Several other minor enhancements and bugfixes
were made.

Project description:

GNU Wget is a utility for noninteractive download of 
files from the Web. It supports HTTP and FTP 
protocols, as well as retrieval through HTTP 
proxies. It can follow HTML links, download many 
pages, and convert the links for local viewing. It 
can also mirror FTP hierarchies or only those files 
that have changed. Wget has been designed for 
robustness over slow network connections; if a 
download fails due to a network problem, it will 
keep retrying until the whole file has been 
retrieved.
