        Thanks! (and sorry if I forgot to mention someone)
and we're back on square one working on the next release... 2008-11-05 20:17:30 +08:00			`Curl and libcurl 7.19.2`
working draft of the upcoming 7.10.8 release notes 2003-09-23 05:38:52 +08:00
and we're back on square one working on the next release... 2008-11-05 20:17:30 +08:00			`Public curl releases: 108`
- Martin Drasar provided the CURLOPT_POSTREDIR patch. It renames CURLOPT_POST301 (but adds a define for backwards compatibility for you who don't define CURL_NO_OLDIES). This option allows you to now also change the libcurl behavior for a HTTP response 302 after a POST to not use GET in the subsequent request (when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled). I edited the patch somewhat before commit. The curl tool got a matching --post302 option. Test case 1076 was added to verify this. 2008-09-06 00:13:20 +08:00			`Command line options: 128`
- Igor Novoseltsev added CURLOPT_PROXYUSER and CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD that then make CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD sort of deprecated. The primary motive for adding these new options is that they have no problems with the colon separator that the CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD option does. 2008-10-17 04:21:22 +08:00			`curl_easy_setopt() options: 158`
- 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`
oops, counted one of them twice! 2008-10-08 02:14:11 +08:00			`Known libcurl bindings: 37`
an impressive 672 contributors (counter after the 7.19.0 release) 2008-09-01 23:29:24 +08:00			`Contributors: 672`
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:`

HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection 2007-07-22 18:17:52 +08:00			`This release includes the following bugfixes:`

Related with bug #2230535 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2230535) Daniel Fandrich noticed that curl_addrinfo was also missing in the build process of other four non-configure platforms. Added now. 2008-11-11 09:12:17 +08:00			`o build failure when using MSVC 6 makefile and on four platforms more`
The getifaddrs() version of Curl_if2ip() crashed when used on a Linux system with a TEQL load-balancing device configured, which doesn't have an address. Thanks to Adam Sampson for spotting this (bug #2234923). 2008-11-08 02:33:20 +08:00			`o crash when using --interface name on Linux systems with a TEQL device`
- Rainer Canavan filed bug #2255627 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2255627) which pointed out that a program using libcurl's multi interface to download a HTTPS page with a libcurl built powered by OpenSSL, would easily get silly and instead hand over SSL details as data instead of the actual HTTP headers and body. This happened because libcurl would consider the connection handshake done too early. This problem was introduced at September 22nd 2008 with my fix of the bug #2107377 The correct fix is now instead done within the GnuTLS-handling code, as both the OpenSSL and the NSS code already deal with this situation in similar fashion. I added test case 560 in an attempt to verify this fix, but unfortunately it didn't trigger it even before this fix! 2008-11-12 06:19:27 +08:00			`o using the multi interface to download a HTTPS page with libcurl built`
