Eric Landes provided the patch (edited by me) that introduces the --keepalive-time to curl to set the keepalive probe interval. I also took the opportunity to rename the recently added no-keep-alive option to no-keepalive to keep a consistent naming and to avoid getting two dashes in these option names. Eric also provided an update to the man page for the new option. 2008-01-13 06:10:53 +08:00			`Command line options: 126`
Georg Lippitsch brought CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SEEKDATA to allow libcurl to seek in a given input stream. This is particularly important when doing upload resumes when there's already a huge part of the file present remotely. Before, and still if this callback isn't used, libcurl will read and through away the entire file up to the point to where the resuming begins (which of course can be a slow opereration depending on file size, I/O bandwidth and more). This new function will also be preferred to get used instead of the CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION for seeking back in a stream when doing multi-stage HTTP auth with POST/PUT. 2008-01-10 18:30:19 +08:00			`curl_easy_setopt() options: 150`
Introducing curl_easy_pause() and new magic return codes for both the read and the write callbacks that now can make a connection's reading and/or writing get paused. 2008-01-08 22:52:05 +08:00			`Public functions in libcurl: 56`
Judson provided an example, and the added mirror adds the count 2008-01-20 19:29:30 +08:00			`Public web site mirrors: 43`
contributor re-count (we'll break the 600 limit very very soon now) and I made all the numericals at the top phrased "shorter" and I cut out the "number of releases since the very beginning" since that's just the number curl releases + 26 and not a very interesting number anyway. 2007-10-31 17:21:31 +08:00			`Known libcurl bindings: 36`

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:`
Armel Asselin separated CA cert verification problems from problems with reading the (local) CA cert file to let users easier pinpoint the actual problem. CURLE_SSL_CACERT_BADFILE (77) is the new libcurl error code. 2006-10-21 19:32:05 +08:00
- Niklas Angebrand made the cookie support in libcurl properly deal with the "HttpOnly" feature introduced by Microsoft and apparently also supported by Firefox: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533046.aspx . HttpOnly is now supported when received from servers in HTTP headers, when written to cookie jars and when read from existing cookie jars. 2008-01-31 20:21:57 +08:00			`o added support for HttpOnly cookies`
