Major overhaul introducing http pipelining support and shared connection cache within the multi handle. 2006-09-08 05:49:20 +08:00			`Curl and libcurl 7.16.0`

start working towards 7.15.6 2006-08-07 14:48:01 +08:00			`Public curl release number: 96`
			`Releases counted from the very beginning: 123`
David McCreedy added --ftp-ssl-reqd which makes curl require SSL for both control and data connection, as the existing --ftp-ssl option only requests it. 2006-07-27 07:20:47 +08:00			`Available command line options: 114`
David McCreedy added CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SOCKOPTDATA to allow applications to set their own socket options. 2006-08-29 22:39:33 +08:00			`Available curl_easy_setopt() options: 135`
curl_multi_assign() and CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION proto change 2006-07-27 06:25:00 +08:00			`Number of public functions in libcurl: 54`

David Hull made the file: URL parser also accept the somewhat sloppy file syntax: file:/path. I added test case 203 to verify this. 2003-10-29 17:53:21 +08:00
Armel Asselin made the CURLOPT_PREQUOTE option work fine even when CURLOPT_NOBODY is set true. PREQUOTE is then run roughly at the same place in the command sequence as it would have run if there would've been a transfer. 2006-08-09 06:56:46 +08:00			`This release includes the following changes:`

- Fixed my breakage from earlier today so that doing curl_easy_cleanup() on a handle that is part of a multi handle first removes the handle from the stack. - Added CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE and --no-sessionid to disable SSL session-ID re-use on demand since there obviously are broken servers out there that misbehave with session-IDs used. 2006-09-12 01:18:18 +08:00			`o CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE and --no-sessionid added`
Major overhaul introducing http pipelining support and shared connection cache within the multi handle. 2006-09-08 05:49:20 +08:00			`o CURLMOPT_PIPELINING added for enabling pipelined transfers`
stuff we do 2006-09-12 19:31:34 +08:00			`o multi handles now have a shared connection cache`
spell fix and added Jari 2006-09-05 06:21:32 +08:00			`o Added support for other MS-DOS compilers (besides djgpp)`
David McCreedy added CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SOCKOPTDATA to allow applications to set their own socket options. 2006-08-29 22:39:33 +08:00			`o CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SOCKOPTDATA were added`
Based on a patch by Armel Asselin, the FTP code no longer re-issues the TYPE command on subsequent requests on a re-used connection unless it has to. 2006-08-20 05:18:36 +08:00			`o (FTP) libcurl avoids sending TYPE if the desired type was already set`
clarify for what protocols the changes are 2006-08-21 14:39:52 +08:00			`o (FTP) CURLOPT_PREQUOTE works even when CURLOPT_NOBODY is set true`

working draft of the upcoming 7.10.8 release notes 2003-09-23 05:38:52 +08:00			`This release includes the following bugfixes:`

Dmitriy Sergeyev provided a patch that made the SOCKS[45] code work better as it now will read the full data sent from servers. The SOCKS-related code was also moved to the new lib/socks.c source file. 2006-09-24 03:07:20 +08:00			`o SOCKS proxy connection fixes`
(FTP) a failed upload does not invalidate the control connection 2006-09-22 04:52:58 +08:00			`o (FTP) a failed upload does not invalidate the control connection`
Armel Asselin fixed problems when you gave a proxy URL with user name and empty password or no password at all. Test case 278 and 279 were added to verify. 2006-09-21 05:49:41 +08:00			`o proxy URL with user name and empty password or no password at all now work`
curl_multi_socket() fix thanks to Jeff's test code 2006-09-11 06:15:57 +08:00			`o fixed a socket state problem with *multi_socket()`
Michele Bini fixed how the hostname is put in NTLM packages. As servers don't expect fully qualified names we need to cut them off at the first dot. 2006-09-09 19:45:27 +08:00			`o (HTTP) NTLM hostname fix`
Peter Sylvester cleaned up and fixed the getsockname() uses in ftp.c. Some of them can be completetly removed though... 2006-09-09 06:17:39 +08:00			`o getsockname usage fixes`
- "Dortik" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1551412) provided a patch that while not fixing things very nicely, it does make the SOCKS5 proxy connection slightly better as it now acknowledges the timeout for connection and it no longer segfaults in the case when SOCKS requires authentication and you did not specify username:password. 2006-09-04 06:52:42 +08:00			`o SOCKS5 proxy connects can now time-out`
			`o SOCKS5 connects that require auth no longer segfaults when auth not given`
Dmitriy Sergeyev found and fixed a multi interface flaw when using asynch name resolves. It could get stuck in the wrong state. 2006-08-31 20:53:39 +08:00			`o multi interface using asynch resolves could get stuck in wrong state`
David McCreedy added CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SOCKOPTDATA to allow applications to set their own socket options. 2006-08-29 22:39:33 +08:00			`o the 'running_handles' counter wasn't always updated properly when`
Armel Asselin reported that the 'running_handles' counter wasn't updated properly if you removed a "live" handle from a multi handle with curl_multi_remove_handle(). 2006-08-25 21:53:20 +08:00			`curl_multi_remove_handle() was used`
			`o (FTP) EPRT transfers with IPv6 didn't work properly`
clarify for what protocols the changes are 2006-08-21 14:39:52 +08:00			`o (FTP) SINGLECWD mode and using files in the root dir`
			`o (HTTP) Expect: header disabling work better`
			`o (HTTP) "Expect: 100-continue" disable on second POST on re-used connection`
Fixed a flaw in the "Expect: 100-continue" treatment. If you did two POSTs on a persistent connection and allowed the first to use that header, you could not disable it for the second request. 2006-08-09 05:12:49 +08:00			`o src/config.h.in is fixed`

Peter Sylvester pointed out a flaw in the AllowServerConnect() in the FTP code when doing pure ipv6 EPRT connections. 2006-08-23 05:21:01 +08:00			`Domenico Andreoli, Armel Asselin, Gisle Vanem, Yang Tse, Andrew Biggs,`
