Mention -J change 2010-01-24 04:14:39 +08:00			`Command line options: 136`
Chris Conroy brought support for RTSP transfers, and with it comes 8(!) new libcurl options for controlling what to get and how to receive posssibly interleaved RTP data. Initial commit. 2010-01-21 21:58:30 +08:00			`curl_easy_setopt() options: 174`
- Introducing curl_easy_send() and curl_easy_recv(). They can be used to send and receive data over a connection previously setup with curl_easy_perform() and its CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY option. The sendrecv.c example was added to show how they can be used. 2008-05-13 05:43:24 +08:00			`Public functions in libcurl: 58`

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:`

mention last changes 2010-02-11 15:36:34 +08:00			`o VMS builder bad behavior when used in a batch job`
- Jack Zhang reported a problem with SMTP: we wrongly used multiple addresses in the same RCPT TO line, when they should be sent in separate single commands. I updated test case 802 to verify this. - I also fixed a bad use of my_setopt_str() of CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT in the curl tool which made it try to output it as string for the --libcurl feature which could lead to crashes. 2010-02-13 06:23:46 +08:00			`o multiple recepients with SMTP`
- Tom Donovan fixed the CURL_FORMAT_* defines when building with cmake. 2010-02-14 01:51:30 +08:00			`o fixed the CURL_FORMAT_* defines when building with cmake`
- Martin Hager reported and fixed a problem with a missing quote in libcurl.m4 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2951319) 2010-02-14 05:30:16 +08:00			`o missing quote in libcurl.m4`
- I made the SMTP code expect a 250 response back from the server after the full DATA has been sent, and I modified the test SMTP server to also send that response. As usual, the DONE operation that is made after a completed transfer is still not doable in a non-blocking way so this waiting for 250 is unfortunately made blockingly. 2010-02-21 05:56:48 +08:00			`o SMTP: now waits for 250 after the DATA transfer`
- Fixed the SMTP compliance by making sure RCPT TO addresses are specified properly in angle brackets. Recipients provided with CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT now get angle bracket wrapping automatically by libcurl unless the recipient starts with an angle bracket as then the app is assumed to deal with that properly on its own. 2010-02-21 06:29:59 +08:00			`o SMTP: use angle brackets in RCPT TO`
Fixed bug report #2958074 indicating (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2958074) that curl on Windows with option --trace-time did not use local time when timestamping trace lines. This could also happen on other systems depending on time souurce. 2010-02-25 14:59:04 +08:00			`o curl --trace-time not using local time`
- Pat Ray in bug #2958474 pointed out an off-by-one case when receiving a chunked-encoding trailer. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2958474 2010-02-27 06:55:30 +08:00			`o off-by-one in the chunked encoding trailer parser`
SSL, not SSH, SSL 2010-03-02 06:10:55 +08:00			`o superfluous blocking for OpenSSL-based SSL connects and multi interface`
- Ben Greear provided an update for TFTP that fixes upload. 2010-03-02 06:14:47 +08:00			`o TFTP upload`
- Made the pingpong timeout code properly deal with the response timeout AND the global timeout if set. Also, as was reported in the bug report #2956437 by Ryan Chan, the time stamp to use as basis for the per command timeout was not set properly in the DONE phase for FTP (and not for SMTP) so I fixed that just now. This was a regression compared to 7.19.7 due to the conversion of FTP code over to the generic pingpong concepts. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2956437 2010-03-02 21:26:23 +08:00			`o FTP timeouts after file transferred completely`
- Markus Duft pointed out in bug #2961796 that even though Interix has a poll() function it doesn't quite work the way we want it so we must disable it, and he also provided a patch for it. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2961796 2010-03-02 21:34:57 +08:00			`o skip poll() on Interix`
