curl/RELEASE-NOTES
Michal Marek 86cbb23282 - Added --with-ca-path=DIRECTORY configure option to use an openSSL CApath by
default instead of a ca bundle. The configure script will also look for a
  ca path if no ca bundle is found and no option given.

- Fixed detection of previously installed curl-ca-bundle.crt
