The following packages have been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution:

* wget	1.24.5

GNU Wget is a file retrieval utility which can use the HTTP, HTTPS, or
FTP protocols. Wget features include the ability to work in the
background while you're logged out, recursive retrieval of directories,
file name wildcard matching, remote file timestamp storage and
comparison, use of Rest with FTP servers and Range with HTTP servers to
retrieve files over slow or unstable connections, support for Proxy
servers, and configurability.

For more information, please see the project home pages:

Noteworthy changes in release 1.24.5	2024-03-10

- Fix how subdomain matches are checked for HSTS.
  Fixes a minor issue where cookies may be leaked to the wrong domain
- Wget will now also parse the srcset attribute in <source> HTML tags
- Support reading fetchmail style "user" and "passwd" fields from netrc
- In some cases, prevent the confusing "Cannot write to... (success)"
  error messages
- Support extremely fast download speeds (TB/s).
  Previously this would cause Wget to crash when printing the speed
