                                  Changelog

Version 7.12.1 (10 August 2004)

Daniel (10 August 2004)
- In OpenSSL 0.9.7d and earlier, ASN1_STRING_to_UTF8 fails if the input is
  already UTF-8 encoded. This made the certificate verification fail if the
  remote server used a certificate with the name UTF-8 encoded.

  Work-around brought by Alexis S. L. Carvalho.

Daniel (9 August 2004)
- I fixed the configure script for krb4 to use -lcom_err as well, as I started
  to get link problems with it unless I did that on my Solaris 2.7 box. I
  don't understand why I started to get problems with this now!

Daniel (5 August 2004)
- Enrico Scholz fixed the HTTP-Negotiate service name to be uppercase as
  reported in bug report #1004105

Daniel (4 August 2004)
- Gisle Vanem provided a fix for the multi interface and connecting to a host
  using multiple IP (bad) addresses.

- Dylan Salisbury made libcurl no longer accept cookies set to a TLD only (it
  previously allowed that on the seven three-letter domains).

Daniel (31 July 2004)
- Joel Chen reported that the digest code assumed quotes around the contents a
  bit too much.

Daniel (28 July 2004)
- Bertrand Demiddelaer fixed the host name to get setup properly even when a
  connection is re-used, when a proxy is in use. Previously the wrong Host:
  header could get sent when re-using a proxy connection to a different target
  host.

- Fixed Brian Akins' reported problems with duplicate Host: headers on re-used
  connections. If you attempted to replace the Host: header in the second
  request, you got two such headers!

- src/Makefile.am now includes the Makefile.inc file to get info about files

Daniel (26 July 2004)
- Made "curl [URL] -o name#2" work as expected. If there's no globbing for the
  #-number, it will simply be used as #2 in the file name.

- Bertrand Demiddelaer fixed testing with valgrind 2.1.x and added two missing
  newlines in the cookie informationals.

Daniel (24 July 2004)
- I fixed the autobuilds with ares, since they now need to have buildconf run
  in the ares dir before the configure script is run.

- Added Casey O'Donnell's curl_easy_reset() function. It has a proto in
  curl/curl.h but we have no man page yet.

Daniel (20 July 2004)
- Added buildconf and buildconf.bat to the release archives, since they are
  handy for rebuilding curl when using a daily snapshot (and not a pure CVS
  checkout).

Daniel (16 July 2004)
- As suggested by Toby Peterson, libcurl now ignores Content-Length data if the
  given size is a negative number. Test case 178 verifies this.

Daniel (14 July 2004)
- Günter Knauf has made the Netware builds do without the config-netware.h
  files, so they are now removed from the dist packages.

- Günter Knauf made curl and libcurl build with Borland again.

- Andres Garcia fixed the common test 505 failures on windows.

Daniel (6 July 2004)
- Andrés García found out why the windows tests failed on file:// "uploads".

Daniel (2 July 2004)
- Andrés García reported a curl_share_cleanup() crash that occurs when no
  lock/unlock callbacks have been set and the share is cleaned up.

Daniel (1 July 2004)
- When using curl --trace or --trace-ascii, no trace messages that were sent
  by curl_easy_cleanup() were included in the trace file. This made the
  message "Closing connection #0" never appear in trace dumps.
  
Daniel (30 June 2004)
- Niels van Tongeren found that setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to TRUE doesn't disable
  a previously set POST request, making a very odd request get sent (unless
  you disabled the POST) a HEAD request with a POST request-body. I've now
  made CURLOPT_NOBODY enforce a proper HEAD. Added test case 514 for this.

Daniel (29 June 2004)
- Günter Knauf made the testcurl.pl script capable of using a custom setup
  file to easier run multiple autobuilds on the same source tree.

- Gisle fixed the djgpp build and fixed a memory problem in some of the
  reorged name resolved code.

- Fixed code to allow connects done using the multi interface to attempt the
  next IP when connecting to a host that resolves to multiple IPs and a
  connect attempt fails.
  
Daniel (27 June 2004)
- Based on Rob Stanzel's bug report #979480, I wrote a configure check that
  checks if poll() can be used to wait on NULL as otherwise select() should be
  used to do it. The select() usage was also fixed according to his report.

  Mac OS X 10.3 says "poll() functionality for Mac OS X is implemented via an
  emulation layer on top of select(), not in the kernel directly. It is
  recommended that programs running under OS X 10.3 prefer select() over
  poll(). Configure scripts should look for the _POLL_EMUL_H_ define (instead
  of _POLL_H_ or _SYS_POLL_H_) and avoid implementations where poll is not
  implemented in the kernel."

  Yes, we can probably use select() on most platforms but today I prefered to
  leave the code unaltered.

Daniel (24 June 2004)
- The standard curl_version() string now only includes version info about
  involved libraries and not about particular features. Thus it will no longer
  include info about ipv6 nor GSS. That info is of course still available in
  the feature bitmask curl_version_info() offers.

- Replaced all occurances of sprintf() with snprintf(). This is mostly because
  it is "A Good Thing" rather than actually fixing any known problem. This
  will help preventing future possible mistakes to cause buffer overflows.

- Major reorganization in the host resolve code (again). This time, I've
  modified the code to now always use a linked list of Curl_addrinfo structs
  to return resolved info in, no matter what resolver method or support that
  is available on the platform. It makes it a lot easier to write code that
  uses or depends on resolved data.

  Internally, this means amongst other things that we can stop doing the weird
  "increase buffer size until it works" trick when resolving hosts on
  ipv4-only with gethostbyname_r(), we support socks even on libcurls built
  with ipv6 enabled (but only to socks servers that resolve to an ipv4
  address) and we no longer deep-copy or relocate hostent structs (we create
  Curl_addrinfo chains instead).

  The new "hostent to Curl_addrinfo" converter function is named Curl_he2ai()
  and is slightly naive and simple, yet I believe it is functional enough to
  work for libcurl.

Daniel (22 June 2004)
- David Cohen pointed out that RFC2109 says clients should allow cookies to
  contain least 4096 bytes while libcurl only allowed 2047. I raised the limit
  to 4999 now and made the used buffer get malloc()ed instead of simply
  allocated on stack as before. Extended test case 46 to include a cookie with
  very huge content to verify the fix.

- Günter Knauf fixed getdate.y to remove a few warnings. I removed the
  ifdef'ed test we never ever use anyway.

- Gisle Vanem fixed the certificate wildcard checks to support a '*'-letter
  anywhere in the wildcard string, support multiple '*'-letters in the
  wildcard and to allow the '*'-letter to match a string that includes a dot.

Daniel (21 June 2004)
- testcurl.sh is now removed completely, tests/testcurl.pl is the script to
  use when autobuilding curl!

- Kjetil Jacobsen brought my attention to the fact that you cannot properly
  abort an upload with the readfunction callback, since returning 0 or -1 only
  stops the upload and libcurl will continue waiting for downloaded data and
  the server often waits for the rest of the upload data to arrive.

  Thus, I've now added the ability for read callbacks to return
  CURL_READFUNC_ABORT to abort an upload from a read callback. This will stop
  the transfer immediately with a CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK return code.

  Test case 513 was added to verify that it works. I had to improve the test
  HTTP server too to dump the request to a file even when the client
  disconnects prematurely.
  
Daniel (19 June 2004)
- Luca Alteas provided a test case with a failing curl operation: when we POST
  to a site with --digest (or similar) set, and the server responded with a 302
  Location: to the "authprobe" request, it was not treated correctly. We still
  will behave badly if FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled for this case, but I'm not
  in the mood to dive into this right now and will leave it as-is for now.
  Verified my fix with test case 177.

Daniel (18 June 2004)
- Gisle Vanem's patch that provides more details from the SSL layers (if you
  use an OpenSSL version that supports it). It also introduces two new types
  of data that can be sent to the debug callback: CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_IN and
  CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_OUT.

- With David Byron's test server I could repeat his problem and make sure that
  POSTing over HTTPS:// with NTLM works fine now. There was a general problem
  with multi-pass authentication with non-GET operations with CONNECT.

Daniel (16 June 2004)
- Modified to keep the upload byte counter in an curl_off_t, not an int as
  before. 32bits is not enough. This is most likely the bug Jean-Louis Lemaire
  reported that makes 2GB FTP uploads to report error ("unaligned file sizes")
  when completed.

Daniel (15 June 2004)
- Luca Alteas reported a problem that I fixed: if you did a POST with
  CURLAUTH_DIGEST set but the server didn't require any authentication,
  libcurl would repeatedly send HEAD lots of times until it gives up. This was
  actually the case for all multi-pass authentications. Added test case 174,
  175 and 176 to verify this.

Daniel (14 June 2004)
- Multipart formposts uploading files no longer inserts the files themselves
  into the huge prebuilt chunk. This enables libcurl to formpost files that is
  larger than the amount of system memory. When the file given is passed on
  stdin, libcurl still uses the old method of reading the full fill before the
  upload takes place. This approach was selected in order to not alter the
  behavior for existing applications, as when using stdin libcurl can't know
  the size of the upload and chunked transfer-encoding can only be used on
  HTTP 1.1 servers.

Daniel (13 June 2004)
- Gisle found out that we did wildcard cert name checks wrong, so that parts
  of the check wrongly was case sensitive.

Daniel (11 June 2004)
- Tim Sneddon brought a minor VMS fix to make curl build properly on his VMS
  machine. He also had some interesting libcurl patches... they might be able
  to do in a slightly nicer way. Discussions are in progress.

Daniel (10 June 2004)
- Gisle Vanem brought code cleanupsm better verbose output and better connect
  timeout handling when attempting to connect to a host that resolves to
  multiple IP addresses.

- Steven Bazyl and Seshubabu Pasam pointed out a bug on win32 when freeing the
  path after a file:// transfer.

Daniel (9 June 2004)
- Alexander Krasnostavsky made 'configure --disable-http' work to build libcurl
  without HTTP support. I added a new return code for curl_formadd() in case
  libcurl is built with HTTP disable: CURL_FORMADD_DISABLED.

- Alexander Krasnostavsky pointed out a missing file in the generated
  curllib.dsp file, and now people building with this should get a libcurl.lib
  file generated as it used to do before we generated this file.

Daniel (8 June 2004)
- Marty Kuhrt fixed a minor build problem for VMS.

Daniel (7 June 2004)
- Reverted the configure check from the 4th since it obviously didn't work.
  Remade it in a different manner that hopefully works better.

Daniel (4 June 2004)
- Günter Knauf brought patches to make curl build fine on NetWare again.

- Made the configure checks for strerror_r() not exit the configure script
  when built for cross-compiling.

Daniel (3 June 2004)
- Chris Gaukroger pointed out that 'make test' attempts to run the tests even
  if curl is built cross-compiled. I've now made it output a short message
  instead, saying it isn't possible to do.
  
- Alexander Krasnostavsky brought FTP 3rd party transfer support to libcurl.
  You can now use libcurl to transfer files between two remote hosts using
  FTP. There are a bunch of new options to control this with:
   CURLOPT_SOURCE_HOST
   CURLOPT_SOURCE_USERPWD
   CURLOPT_SOURCE_PATH
   CURLOPT_SOURCE_PORT
   CURLOPT_PASV_HOST
   CURLOPT_SOURCE_PREQUOTE
   CURLOPT_SOURCE_POSTQUOTE

  (They still remain to be documented properly in the curl_easy_setopt man
  page.)

  When using this, the ordinary CURLOPT_URL specifies the target URL, and you
  specify the source data with these additional options. ftp3rdparty.c is a
  new example source code showing how to use this.

- Vincent Bronner fixed the HTTP Digest code to use the proxy user name and
  password when doing proxy authentication, it previously always used the host
  user name and password!

Daniel (2 June 2004)
- CURLOPT_UPLOAD and CURLOPT_PUT now do the exact same thing internally, which
  fixes some old confusions on when which of these should be used and what the
  differences are.

- Applied Gisle's fixes to make curl build fine with lcc-win32

Version 7.12.0 (2 June 2004)

Daniel (1 June 2004)
- I clarified the --create-dirs option somewhat in the curl man page.

- Renaud Duhaut corrected the curl_unescape man page.

- David Byron modified one of Massimiliano Ziccardi's recent MSVC makefile
  changes to now again use the mm lib by default.

Daniel (26 May 2004)
- Mohun Biswas added release-zlib and debug-zlib targets to the MSVC libcurl
  Makefile

- David Byron reported a problem with proxy authentication when doing CONNECT,
  like when accessing HTTPS sites wiht a proxy. This probably broke when I
  rewrote the auth stuff recently.

- I added fileupload.c in the examples directory, showing how an upload to a
  file:// URL is made.

Daniel (25 May 2004)
- Massimiliano Ziccardi updated the MSVC makefiles.

Daniel (24 May 2004)
- libcurl now supports "uploading" to file:// URLs. Test 204 and 205 were
  added to verify.

- Simon Josefsson added a idn_free() function in libidn 0.4.5 as a reaction to
  Gisle's previous mail. We now use this function, and thus we require libidn
  0.4.5 or later. No earlier version will do.

- Robert D. Young reported that CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE and CURLOPT_COOKIE could
  not be used both in one request. Fixed it and added test case 172 to verify.

Daniel (21 May 2004)
- While talking to host a.b.c, libcurl did wrongly not accept cookies that
  were set to the domain .a.b.c (that is with a dot prefix). This is now fixed
  and test case 171 verifies it.

Daniel (20 May 2004)
- Jesse Noller reported that the upload speed info reported by libcurl was
  wrong. The same was true for the download speed. Fixed now.

Daniel (19 May 2004)
- David Byron added test case 170 - this used to crash the previous version of 
  curl.

Daniel (17 May 2004)
- Peter Sylvester's patch that addresses two flaws in the peer certificate
  name verification:
  o when multiple common names are used (as in the curl tests), the last name
    needs to be selected.
  o allow comparing with encoded values, at least with BMP and ISO latin1
    encoded T61strings.

- All 191 test cases run through the torture test OK! 'make test-torture' is
  now available in the root makefile (on configure-based environments).

Daniel (14 May 2004)
- With a slightly modified ftpserver.pl I've now run almost all tests through
  with runtests.pl -t. This is goodness!

- Since I have been unable to contact the CVS admins for several months, I've
  decided that the current CVS hosting was not good enough. I've now moved the
  CVS repo once again, see README for updated cvs checkout instructions.

Daniel (13 May 2004)
- runtests.pl -t now runs fine all the way to test 100. I believe test case
  100 fails because of an FTP server problem.

Daniel (12 May 2004)
- General cleanups all over to make libcurl survive and do well when a memory
  function returns NULL. runtests.pl -t now works fine for the first 26 test
  cases.

Daniel (11 May 2004)
- Seshubabu Pasam provided a patch that introduces curl_global_init_mem() -
  like normal curl_global_init() but allows the app to replace all memory
  functions with its own set. I modified it slightly.

- Based on Luca Alteas' comments, I modified the curllib.dsp generation code.

Daniel (10 May 2004)
- Gisle mailed Simon Josefsson (of libidn fame) about the benefits of a
  separate free()-function by that lib to make sure the memory is freed by the
  same memory subsystem that allocated it. He responded positively and this
  will likely cause us to require a newer version of libidn as soon as Simon
  releases one with such a libidn_free() function.

- James Bursa made runtests.pl's -t option work for any given test case, and I
  edited to allow -g too. Not even test case 1 worked...

- Luca Altea made the nc= field not use quotes in outgoing HTTP Digest headers.

- Andrés García fixed a problem in the test script that made it fail to
  recognize our own running HTTP server.

Daniel (7 May 2004)
- James Bursa fixed the memanalyze.pl script to conder malloc(0) areas OK to
  free() and he made two failed-resolve error messages use the new display-
  name instead of the internally-used name.

- Gisle Vanem tried curl with
  www.etdomenenavnkanmaksimaltinneholdesekstitrebokstaversliksomdette.com
  which caused problems, and I fixed the single zero byte buffer overwrite
  that occurred (due to a stupid protocol buffer size and parser).

- Made the lib/curllib.dsp file get generated automaticly when a distribution
  package is made, with the msvcproj.* files as templates and all
  win32-sources added. I think this can be made to work better than the always
  lagging-behind previous approach. I'm not sure this builds a working project
  file right now though!

Daniel (6 May 2004)
- Michael Benedict brought a fix that fills in the errorbuffer properly when
  ares fails to resolve a name for a case not previously dealt with like this.

Daniel (5 May 2004)
- Joe Halpin fixed the annoying typecast warning in lib/ldap.c

- Gisle Vanem fixes:
  o memdebug to not access NULL on several places
  o libcurl.def; curl_formparse is gone.
  o progress.c; fixed the percent values being trunced to 0.
  o if2ip.*; constified the 'interface' argument.

- Tor Arntsen reported that many of his autobuilds froze and I found and fixed
  a problem introduced with the HTTP auth overhaul that could lead to a
  never-ending internal request-loop due to un-initialized variables!

- Removed several compiler warnings on various compilers/platforms.

Daniel (4 May 2004)
- curl_formparse() has been removed from the library. It has been marked and
  mentioned as deprecated for several years.

Daniel (3 May 2004)
- Rewritten HTTP authentication code. The previous code could not properly
  deal with the added test cases 167, 168 and 169. I've now rewritten the code
  to better separate host and proxy authentication and not re-use the same
  variables as much as before as it proved non working in the more involved
  cases. All the current tests run OK now, and so do the new ones. The curl
  tool got a new option named --proxy-digest to enable HTTP Digest
  authentication with the proxy. I also made the library support it.

- Gisle Vanem made the LDAP code work with wldap32.dll as supplied with
  Win-98/ME/2000/XP, so no extra .dlls are required when curl/libcurl is used
  on these Windows versions.

Daniel (30 April 2004)
- runtests.pl now scans the valgrind log for valgrind-detected memory leaks
  after each test case if valgrind was found and used.

- I modified the app-code in curl to include the new lib/curlx.h and only
  access those functions using the curlx_-prefix in preparation for the future
  removal of several curl_-functions from the public libcurl API.

- Introduced lib/curlx.h as a single header to provide the curlx_-functions
  to apps.

- Added notices in the man pages for curl_getenv, curl_mprintf, curl_strequal
  and curl_strnequal that they are subject for removal in a future release.
  STOP USING THESE FUNCTIONS.

- Mihai Ionescu noticed he couldn't do formposts with whitespace in the file
  names and yes, I broke that on April 23. Sigh. I fixed it now and added
  test case 166 to verify it.

- Luca Altea pointed out a mistake left from the Digest patch of yesterday.

Daniel (29 April 2004)
- Made IDN domains work when sending requsts over HTTP proxy as well. Added
  test case 165 to verify the functionality.

- Fixed a bug in the new internal host name setup when re-using connections.

- James Bursa found out that curl_easy_duphandle() with ares-built libcurl
  created a bad handle that would crash in the first name resolve attempt. This
  is now fixed and test case 512 was added to verify it.

- Luca Altea provided a major HTTP Digest code fix and cleanup. We now follow
  the Digest RFC a lot better.

- Gisle Vanem made the SSL code use ERR_error_string_n() where applicable.

Daniel (27 April 2004)
- I remodeled Gisle's IDN code slightly and now we convert both the host name
  and proxy name to the ACE encoded version to use internally for resolves and
  cookies etc. They are now using one 'struct hostname' each that keep both
  the original name and the possibly encoded name. IDN resolves work for me
  now using ipv6, ipv4 and ares resolving. Even cookies on IDN sites seem to
  do right. I got some failures at first when CHARSET wasn't set at all which
  confused libidn completely and it decided by encoding of choice was
  'ANSI_X3.4-1968'...

- made 'configure --without-libidn' work

Daniel (25 April 2004)
- Fixed the src/hugehelp.c file to include "setup.h" instead of "config.h" to
  make the problems with USE_MANUAL on windows go away.

- configure --without-ssl could still wrongly include some OpenSSL info in the
  Makefiles if pkg-config had info about OpenSSL. Bug #941762 reported by
  Martin.

- Since we can now build and use quite a large set of 3rd party libraries, I
  decided I would make configure produce a summary at the end showing what
  libraries it uses and if not, what option to use to make it use that. I also
  added some other random info that is nice in a "configure summary" output.

- Applied TommyTam's patch that now make curl work with telnet and stdin
  properly on Windows.

- The changes for today below were made by me and Gisle Vanem.

  The file previously known as hostip.c has now undergone a huge cleanup and
  split:

  hostip.c explained
  ==================

  The main COMPILE-TIME DEFINES to keep in mind when reading the host*.c
  source file are these:

  CURLRES_IPV6 - this host has getaddrinfo() and family, and thus we use
  that. The host may not be able to resolve IPv6, but we don't really have to
  take that into account. Hosts that aren't IPv6-enabled have CURLRES_IPV4
  defined.

  CURLRES_ARES - is defined if libcurl is built to use c-ares for asynchronous
  name resolves. It cannot have ENABLE_IPV6 defined at the same time, as
  c-ares has no ipv6 support. This can be Windows or *nix.

  CURLRES_THREADED - is defined if libcurl is built to run under (native)
  Windows, and then the name resolve will be done in a new thread, and the
  supported asynch API will be the same as for ares-builds.

  If any of the two previous are defined, CURLRES_ASYNCH is defined too. If
  libcurl is not built to use an asynchronous resolver, CURLRES_SYNCH is
  defined.

  The host*.c sources files are split up like this:

  hostip.c   - method-independent resolver functions and utility functions
  hostasyn.c - functions for asynchronous name resolves
  hostsyn.c  - functions for synchronous name resolves
  hostares.c - functions for ares-using name resolves
  hostthre.c - functions for threaded name resolves
  hostip4.c  - ipv4-specific functions
  hostip6.c  - ipv6-specific functions

  The hostip.h is the single united header file for all this. It defines the
  CURLRES_* defines based on the config*.h and setup.h defines.

- Added function header comments to many functions in an attempt to better
  explain the purpose of them all.

- configure --with-libidn is now supported. It makes the configure script
  check for libidn libs and include files in the prefix path given. If you
  say --with-libidn=/usr/local, it will check for the lib in /usr/local/lib
  and the includes in /usr/local/include etc.

- curl_version_info() now returns a struct aged CURLVERSION_THIRD including
  libidn version info. The string curl_version() returns also includes libidn
  version info, if available.

Version 7.11.2 (26 April 2004)

Daniel (25 April 2004)
- Erwin Authried pointed out that configure --disable-manual didn't do right
  if you already had a src/hugehelp.c source file present (which most people
  do I guess). It now uses the USE_MANUAL define properly.

Daniel (23 April 2004)
- Gisle Vanem found and fixed a memory leak when doing (failing) Windows
  threaded name resolves.

- I also added test case 163 just to make sure -F "var=<file" works fine and
  can pass on characters such as newlines, carriage-return and tabs.

- When we added test case 162 without adding the necessary requirement field
  in the test meta data we could see that curl didn't complain if you used
  --proxy-ntlm even if the underlying libcurl it uses has no NTLM support! I
  now made it check this first, and it now exists with a "the installed
  libcurl version doesn't support this" message if it happens again.

Daniel (22 April 2004)
- David Byron found and fixed a small bug with the --fail and authentication
  stuff added a few weeks ago.  Turns out that if you specify --proxy-ntlm and
  communicate with a proxy that requires basic authentication, the proxy
  properly returns a 407, but the failure detection code doesn't realize it
  should give up, so curl returns with exit code 0. Test case 162 added to
  verify the functionality.

- allow newlines in the contents when doing -F "var=[contents]"
  Robert Marlow reported.

- If a transfer is found out to be only partial, libcurl will now treat that
  as a problem serious enough to skip the final QUIT command before closing
  the control connection. To avoid the risk that it will "hang" waiting for
  the QUIT response. Added test case 161 to verify this.

Daniel (21 April 2004)
- Modified the heuristics for dealing with the test 160 scenario. When a
  connection is re-used and nothing at all is received from it (because the
  server closes the connection), we will now retry the request on a fresh new
  connection. The previous ECONNRESET stuff from January 30 was removed again
  as it didn't detect the situation good enough.

Daniel (20 April 2004)
- Added test case 160 to verify that curl works correctly when it gets a
  connection reset when trying to re-use a connection. It should then simply
  create a new connection and resend the request.

Daniel (19 April 2004)
- No more 512 byte limit for host name (inclusing name + password) in libcurl.
  An added bonus is that we use less memory for the typical (shorter URL)
  case.

- Cleaned up the sources to better use the terms 'hostname' and 'path'
  internally when referring to that data. The buffers used for keep that info
  is called 'namebuffer' and 'pathbuffer'. Much easier to read and understand
  than the previous mess.

Daniel (15 April 2004)
- Modified runtests.pl again to remove all log files in the log/ dir between
  each test, and then made -p display all non-zero byte files in the log dir.
  It should make that data more usable and contain less rubbish.

- ftpserver.pl now produces log files more similar to how the sws ones look
  and they now also contains a bit more details to help debugging ftp
  problems.

- Removed the fixed maximum amount of dir levels the FTP code supported.
  Previously we had a fixed array for 100 levels, now we save space in each
  handle by allocating only for a few level by default and then enlarging that
  in case of need (with no maximum depth). Adjusted test case 142 to verify
  that 150 dir levels work fine.  An added bonus is that we use less memory
  for the typical (not very deep) case.

Daniel (14 April 2004)
- Asking for CURL_IPRESOLVE_V6 when ipv6 addresses can't be resolved will
  now cause the resolve function to return NULL immediately. This flaw was
  pointed out by Gisle Vanem.

- Gisle Vanem made curl -4/-6 actually set the desired option to libcurl.

- runtests.pl now has a new option (-p) that will display "interesting" log
  files to stdout in case of a test failure. This is primarily intended to be
  used in the 'full-test' make target that is used by the autobuild tests, as
  we then get a much better chance to understand (remote) test failures based
  on autobuild logs alone.

Daniel (13 April 2004)
- Gisle Vanem made the multi interface work again on Windows even when built
  without ares. Before this, select() would return -1 during the name resolve
  phase since curl_multi_fdset() didn't return any fd_set at all which wasn't
  appreciated!

- curl_easy_duphandle() now duplicates the tcp_nodelay info as well.

Daniel (11 April 2004)
- Applied David Byron's patch for the MSVC libcurl makefile for builds with
  zlib.

Daniel (9 April 2004)
- Dirk Manske improved the timer resolution for CURLINFO_*_TIME, it can now
  be down to usec if the system sypports it.

Daniel (7 April 2004)
- A request that sends "Expect: 100-continue" and gets nothing but a single
  100 response back will now return a CURLE_GOT_NOTHING. Test 158 verifies.

- The strtoofft() macro is now named curlx_strtoofft() to use the curlx_*
  approach fully.

Daniel (6 April 2004)
- Gisle Vanem's fixed bug #927979 reported by Nathan O'Sullivan. The problem
  made libcurl on Windows leak a small amount of memory in each name resolve
  when not used as a DLL.

- New authentication code added, particularly noticable when doing POST or PUT
  with Digest or NTLM. libcurl will now use HEAD to negotiate the
  authentication and when done perform the requested POST. Previously libcurl
  sent POST immediately and expected the server to reply a final status code
  with an error and then libcurl would not send the request-body but instead
  send then next request in the sequence.

  The reason for this change is due to IIS6 barfing on libcurl when we attempt
  to POST with NTLM authentication. The reason for the problems is found in
  RFC2616 section 8.2.3 regarding how servers should deal with the 100
  continue request-header:

        If it responds with a final status code, it MAY close the transport
        connection or it MAY continue to read and discard the rest of the
        request.

  Previous versions of IIS clearly did close the connection in this case,
  while this newer version decided it should "read and discard". That would've
  forced us to send the whole POST (or PUT) data only to have it discarded and
  then be forced to send it again. To avoid that huge penality, we switch to
  using HEAD until we are authenticated and then send the POST.

  The only actual drawback I can think of (except for the odd sites that might
  treat HEAD differently than they would treat POST/PUT when given the same
  URL) is that if you do POST with CURLAUTH_ANY set and the site requires NO
  authentication, libcurl will still use a HEAD in a first round and then do a
  POST.

  If you do a HEAD or a GET on a site using CURLAUTH_ANY, libcurl will send
  an un-authenticated request at once, which then is the only request if the
  site requires no auth.

  Alan Pinstein helped me work out the protocol details by figuring out why
  libcurl failed and what IIS6 expects.

- The --limit-rate logic was corrected and now it works a lot better for
  higher speeds, such as '10m' or similar. Reported in bug report #930249.

- Introducing curlx_tvnow() and curlx_tvdiff() using the new curlx_* fashion.
  #include "timeval.h" from the lib dir to get the protos etc.  Note that
  these are NOT part of the libcurl API. The curl app simply uses the same
  source files as the library does and therefore the file needs to be compiled
  and linked with curl too, not just when creating libcurl.

- lib/strerror.c no longer uses sys_nerr on non-windows platforms since it
  isn't portable enough

Daniel (2 April 2004)
- In the curl_strnqual.3 man page, we now prepend the man3 dir to the file
  name to work better. As pointed out by Robin Kay.

- Andrés García updated the mingw makefiles.

- Dirk Manske fixed a problem I recently added in the progress meter code that
  broke subsecond resolution for CURLINFO_TOTAL_TIME. He also pointed out a
  mistake in the code that produces the final update of the progress meter
  that would often prevent it from actually being updated that final time.

Daniel (1 April 2004)
- Dirk Manske fixed a memory leak that happened when we use ares for name
  resolves and decides to time-out before ares does it. This fix uses the
  brand new ares_cancel() function which is not present in c-ares 1.1.0.

  When told to enable ares, the configure script now checks for presence of
  the ares_cancel function to alert users if they attempt to use a too old
  c-ares library.

Daniel (31 March 2004)
- Roy Shan fixed a flaw that prevented ares name resolve timeouts to occur!

- Dirk Manske found out that libcurl timed out waiting for resolves far too
  easy when libcurl was built to use (c-)ares for name resolving.

- Further Digest fixing and a successful test case 153 now makes me believe
  Mitz Wark's problems are fixed.

- Andres Garcia figured out that test case 63, while working, only proved a
  flaw in libcurl's 'http_proxy' parser when a user name and password is
  provided. The user name was not extracted properly (and 'http' was always
  used as user name).

- Andrés García fixed compiler warnings in our ioctlsocket() usage.

Daniel (30 March 2004)
- Joe Halpin faced problems with the getnameinfo() argument ai_flags and the
  particular bit named 'NI_WITHSCOPEID' on Solaris 9 for Intel.  I've now
  written a configure test that checks for a working NI_WITHSCOPEID
  implemenation. No code uses the result from this test yet, it is still
  experimental. James Carlson wrote in comp.unix.solaris: "It's a bug
  (5006623) -- it's not supported and shouldn't be in the header file."

- I provided Mitz Wark with a first patch in order to fix libcurl's problems
  to re-negotiate Digest authentication (when 'stale=true' is included in the
  response header).

- Roy Shan discovered that the multi interface didn't properly timeout name
  lookups which could make handles get stuck in that state and thus never get
  completed. I've produced a first test patch that attempts to correct this.

- David Byron's patch was appplied to make CURLOPT_FAILONERROR work nicely
  even with authentcations such as NTLM or Digest enabled. Test cases 150, 151
  and 152 were added to verify the functionality.

Daniel (29 March 2004)
- Gisle Vanem updated files for the djgpp/MS-DOS build.

- Andrés García helped me work out a fix for the runtests.pl script to make
  the file:// tests run fine when tested with the mingw-built version of curl.

- Fixed an include issue with netinet/tcp.h on AIX, based on input by Tor.
  This also required a minor fix of the configure script.

- The postit2.c source example used the wrong struct name for the post data.

Daniel (26 March 2004)
- Gisle Vanem improved ipv6 support on windows by making the curl build to use
  the correct getaddrinfo() function.

Daniel (25 March 2004)
- It turned out that AIX, despite having a "thread-safe libc", doesn't offer
  all traditional functions thread-safe. This URL is informative on this
  subject:

    http://publibn.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/aixprggd/ \
    genprogc/thread_quick_ref.htm

  As a result of this, we now check for three *_r() functions on recent AIX
  versions as well that the URL mentions aren't thread-safe in AIX 5.1.

- renamed curl_strerror.[ch] to strerror.[ch]

- Joe Halpin added CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY and --tcp-nodelay to make it possible
  for users to disable the Nagle algorthim-usage.

- Tor Arntsen provided some interesting strerror_r() knowledge. glibc has its
  own API which differs from the POSIX one. Daniel adjusted the configure
  script to detect the version in use, and the code now uses the new defines
  accordingly.

- Fixed some build flaws with the new lib/curl_strerror.c source file.

Daniel (24 March 2004)
- Gisle Vanem's fix to replace the bad use of strerror(). This introduces
  Curl_strerror() that attempts to be thread-safe _and_ works on Windows too!

- Tor Arntsen spell-fixed lots of libcurl man pages.

- Tor Arntsen made testcurl.pl work with older perl 5 versions, and Daniel
  made it not use chdir .. to go back, as that isn't very good when you've
  setup a testdir containing symlinks.

- Added a check for strerror_r() in the configure script.

Daniel (23 March 2004)
- Added Greg Hewgill's testcurl.pl script to CVS. We have not moved over to
  use this script for the real distributed testing just yet, but it is only
  a matter of time.

- Gisle Vanem provided code that makes curl report a better error message
  if --interface fails on windows.

- The regular progress meter is now fixed to never wrap due to long lines. All
  fields are now static sized. If the time in the time fields get a time value
  that would represent a time that is 100 hours or more (if not, it remains
  using a HH:MM:SS display), it switches first to a "NNNd NNh" display (for
  days and hours) and if that isn't enough it switches to a "NNNd" display if
  it is more than 999 days.

  Several of the calculations were also moved to fixed-point math instead of
  using doubles.

Daniel (22 March 2004)
- Glen Nakamura noticed CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD didn't work as it
  used to do if CURLOPT_NOBODY is set TRUE.

- Kevin Roth patched the cygwin package makefile and README to adjust to
  new cygwin packaging guidelines.

- Enabled "NT responses" in the NTLM authentication. Doing this simply means
  that we provide an extra chunk of data in each "type-3 message". The only
  reason for doing this is that it seems that using only the "Lanmanager hash"
  (as we've been doing until now) doesn't support passwords longer than 14
  characters and it turns out there are users out there who want to use
  libcurl and NTLM with such passwords! ;-) Seven NTLM-related test cases were
  updated accordingly. Mentioned as issue 29 in TODO-RELEASE, bug report
  #915609

- Moved the generated libcurl version info to a new header file, named
  curl/curlver.h. Now interested parties can include ONLY version info, should
  anyone want that (and it seems at least some windows resource files would).
  Mentioned as issue 27 in TODO-RELEASE.

Daniel (21 March 2004)
- Fixed the root Makefile to use tabs for the netware target. Günter Knauf
  pointed this out.

- Marty Kuhrt's VMS cleanup

- Thomas Schwinge made buildconf recognize ACLOCAL_FLAGS to invoke aclocal
  with particular pre-determined options.

Version 7.11.1 (19 March 2004)

Daniel (18 March 2004)
- Tor Arntsen brought some info about SGI IRIX:

  IRIX supports 3 different executable/object formats, -32, -n32 and -64.
  -n32 is default 32-bit format, -32 is the "old" 32-bit format, and -64 is
  the 64-bit format.  Libraries for the different formats are in lib, lib32
  and lib64 respectively.

  We've now adjusted the configure script to adapt to this when scanning for
  3rd party libs, such as OpenSSL.

Daniel (17 March 2004)
- Watz pointed out a few missing files in the MSVC project description file.

- Günter Knauf brought patches, code and makefiles to build curl on Novell
  NetWare.

Daniel (15 March 2004)
- Lots of libcurl man pages were updated to contain references to other man
  pages the recognized way so that they appear as nice hyperlinks in the HTML
  versions.

- buildconf now checks the m4 version too, since autoconf requires a GNU m4
  version to build proper configure scripts.

Daniel (12 March 2004)
- Added CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE, the large file version of
  CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE to allow POSTs larger than 2GB.

- David Byron fixed an uninitialized variable case/crash.

Daniel (10 March 2004)
- Jeff Lawson fixed the SSL connection to deal with received signals during the
  connect.

- Changed the OS string for win32 to become "i386-pc-win32".

Daniel (9 March 2004)
- Changed the internals to use curl_socket_t for socket variable type. This
  should enable us to build with less warnings on Windows, where SOCKET is
  used which is an unsigned int, while most other platforms use a mere int.

- Modified lib/config-win32.h to build fine on MSVC again.

Version 7.11.1-pre1 (8 March 2004)

Daniel (8 March 2004)
- Minor fix to make curl CURL_VERSION_LARGEFILE is only set if curl_off_t is
  larger than 4 bytes.

Daniel (4 March 2004)
- Improved PUT/POST with NTLM/Digest authentication, the so called issue 12.

- Modified the test HTTP server a lot to work with the upcoming changes for
  PUT/POST with NTLM/Digest authentication (like test case 88). Added Andrés
  García's win32-changes. Improved the logging.

- Fixed the file:-related progress/getinfo stuff a bit more.

Daniel (4 March 2004)
- I corrected a problem with the multi interface when following a Location:
  header or when doing multiple-request authentications. A subsequent request
  could erroneously re-use a previous connection that was sent with
  Connection: close. Christopher R. Palmer reported.

- Andrés García patched curl to prevent warnings while compiling with mingw,
  mainly because it is now possible to have both WIN32 and HAVE_CONFIG_H
  defined.

- When transferring files from a file: URL, the progress meter and other
  transfer metrics were not updated properly.

- David Byron provided a "version resource" file to the curl executable for
  the windows builds.

Daniel (3 March 2004)
- David Byron's work on making libcurl only require winsock 1.1 on Windows
  machines.

- More variable cleanups based on compiler warnings generated by Tor Arntsen's
  autobuilds with MIPSPro.

- Joe Halpin helped us fix some pedantic compiler warnings on FreeBSD.

- Applied Tom Bates' patch to build on nsr-tandem-nsk.

- Dan Fandrich corrected some flaws in the configure GSS detection.

Daniel (2 March 2004)
- Fixed the libcurl code to use FORMAT_OFF_T for printf() formatting
  curl_off_t types internally.

Daniel (1 March 2004)
- Added CURL_VERSION_LARGEFILE as a feature-bit in the curl_version_info()
  response, that signals if this libcurl supports >2GB files. curl -V now
  outputs 'Largefile' in the Features: field if this is the case. Most systems
  are likely to support this.

- We offer a CURL_FORMAT_OFF_T define in the public header, which can be used
  to printf() curl_off_t variables. We also modified the libcurl sources to
  use this define instead of the previous %Od approach (although I've left the
  O-flag functional in the code). This should also prevent compilers to warn
  on the home-grown option.

- Fixed the resume-check code to test for a working resume at the end of the
  headers and not at the first body-byte.

- CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE is now considered obsolete. Stop using it. If
  you need a global DNS cache for whatever reason, use the share interface and
  you'll get a global cache that works the way it should work. You can even
  have any number of global caches, all at your command. This is now also
  mentioned in the docs.

- Made the *printf code support the z-flag to enable size_t printf() in a
  manner similar to how glibc allows it. To make printfing of this work on
  platforms with 64bit size_t and 32bit ints. If there even are any! ;-)

- Christopher R. Palmer discovered that if you CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT and
  CURLAUTH_NTLM (or CURLAUTH_ANY and libcurl then picked NTLM), libcurl would
  loop without succeeding to authenticate due to the new connection that was
  made for all round-trips in the authentication. Now, the FRESH_CONNECT is
  remade to only matter for the first connection made with curl_easy_perform()
  and all the rest that might follow due to FOLLOWLOCATION or HTTP
  authentication are now ignoring that option.

- Adjusted the QUIT code slightly since it could core-dump.

- Corrected the test suite's FTP server to provide a correct size to the
  'verifiedserver' request.

Daniel (27 February 2004)
- Joe Halpin made the FTP code send QUIT on the control connection before
  disconnecting the TCP connection. This is what good-behaving ftp clients
  should do.

Daniel (26 February 2004)
- David Byron updated several files to make curl build fine on MSVC 6. He
  also added the 'buildconf.bat' that works like the 'buildconf + configure'
  combo does on unixes.

- Gisle Vanem made the memdebug stuff support calloc() as well.

- Tor Arntsen pointed out that testcurl.sh needed to remove the generated
  files in order to have them re-generated in each build.

- Andy Serpa found out that the share interface did not enjoy life when not
  having the lock and unlock callbacks set, even though documented to be
  OK. It still is OK, and now the code won't segfault anymore!

Daniel (25 February 2004)
- Based on a patch by Greg Hewgill I modified how long long is used in the
  mprintf code, as we can use a 64bit type with MSVC that is a long long
  equivalent. This corrects some weird large file behaviors on windows.

- Tor Arntsen helped me work out --enable-debug to work better with different
  versions of the gcc and icc compilers.

- Added CURLOPT_SHARE to the curl_easy_setopt.3 man page.

Daniel (22 February 2004)
- Applied the final pieces of Gisle Vanem's patch that brings a working name
  resolve timeout to the windows versions of curl!

Daniel (21 February 2004)
- David Byron's fix to allow the speed-limit logic work even if you set
  limit-rate. It does work on the expense of the rate limiter.

Daniel (20 February 2004)
- configure --enable-debug with gcc now also tries to detect the icc compiler
  (which somehow gets treated as if it is a gcc) to stop using all the gcc
  options with it, and we also provide -isystem options for each extra -I
  option the configure script has figured out (for OpenSSL, kerberos, zlib,
  Heimdal etc). This of course to prevent warnings on headers we don't have
  control of.

Daniel (19 February 2004)
- Doug Porter made libcurl use the HOME environment variable before the
  getpwuid results when looking for .netrc files.

- If 'configure --enable-debug' is used with gcc, it now checks which gcc
  version it is and uses as picky compiler options as possible for the
  particular version.

- Code that can be used in both the lib and in the curl app is now made to use
  the curlx_ prefix. The first function to be available like this is the
  curlx_strtoll() function. This is made to allow the app to use existing code,
  but without polluting the libcurl API. Further explanations posted here:

    http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2004-02/0215.html

Daniel (18 February 2004)
- Fixed buildconf to not use "which" as AIX and Tru64 have what have been
  referred to as "horribly broken 'which' programs".

- Made sure dns cache timeout set to -1 really means caching forever.

Daniel (17 February 2004)
- Made it possibly to build c-ares with the libcurl memdebug system to better
  track memory.

Daniel (16 February 2004)
- When using ares, we now initialize the ares 'channel' in curl_easy_init()
  and re-use that same handle during the entire curl handle's life-time. It
  improves performance.

- Fixed a problem when displaying verbose for ipv6-enabled libcurls and
  re-used connections. Problem reported and fix verified by Grigory Entin.

- Jeff Lawson fixed the version-check in the SOCKS5 code.

Daniel (15 February 2004)
- Fixed a case where a host cache entry was not flagged in-use properly when a
  cached entry was used.

- Andrés García's patch that checks for winmm in the configure script was
  applied.

Daniel (13 February 2004)
- Ben Greear's SO_BINDTODEVICE patch for the binding of the local end to a
  specific network interface.

- Greg Hewgill found out that the variable holding 'contentlength' wasn't big
  enough to hold a large file!

- Tor Arntsen fixed a 64bit-related problem in date-related code in the ftp
  department, and there was another potential problem in the name resolve code
  too.

Daniel (11 February 2004)
- Removed a few variables that were only set but never used, as some compilers
  warn about that and we do not like compiler warnings!

- Removed the need for symlinks in the tests/data directory if curl is built
  outside of the source directory and the 'make test' is used. This was done
  by providing a "source dir path" to the scripts/servers.

- Now, if the configure script can't find an nroff tool or an option to nroff
  to use to convert man pages with, it will completely switch off the built-in
  manual.

- 'configure --disable-manual' completely disables the built-in manual from
  the curl command tool.

- Andrés García fixed the configure script and a minor source edit, and now
  he has managed to get msys/mingw to run configure and then build!

Daniel (9 February 2004)
- The default HTTP Accept: header was modified to the much simpler
  "Accept: */*".

- P R Schaffner updated the curl-ssl spec file for RPMs.

- Dominick Meglio brought lots of documentation for the share interface's man
  pages that were previously missing.

- Tor Arntsen provided a patch that makes libcurl work-around a bug in the
  AIX5 implementation of getaddrinfo(). This makes the FTP PORT stuff work on
  ipv6-enabled AIX builds.

- Ken Rastatter provided portability fixes for the curlgtk.c example, and now
  it runs on windows with GTK as well!

Daniel (6 February 2004)
- Andrés García made the configure script find gethostbyname() fine when run
  with mingw on windows.

- Modified the ldap code to use proper function pointers all over (instead of
  mixed data and function pointers) to work-around the picky MIPSPro compiler
  warnings.

- A custom Host: header is only considered if the request is not made by
  following a location. After discussions with Tim Baker.

Daniel (5 February 2004)
- The libz part of the configure script now only set the two libz-related
  define HAVE_ZLIB_H and HAVE_LIBZ if both the lib and the header is found.
  If one is missing, none of the defines is set.

- Andrés García fixed the Mingw makefiles.

- Len Krause reported that curl 7.9.X could do uploading from stdin without
  doing chunked encoding, which current curl cannot do even if you disable
  the transfer-encoding chunked header. Now it can again, and test case 98
  verifies this functionality.

- Tor Arntsen fixed a weird getaddrinfo() usage in the FTP code, preventing
  the ipv6-code for PORT work on AIX 5.2. We now also provide (better) error
  messages when bailing out in the that function.

- Tor Arntsen now provides AIX and IRIX (using gcc, xlc and the MIPSPro
  compilers) automated build logs (http://curl.haxx.se/auto/) and we've fixed
  numerous minor quirks to make less warnings appear.

Daniel (4 February 2004)
- Based on a patch by Gilad, we now use the custom timeouts when waiting for a
  server to connect when using FTP PORT. Previously we always waited 10
  seconds, no more no less. We now also changed the default (if no timeout is
  set) to wait 60 seconds for the connect before we fail.

Daniel (3 February 2004)
- Modified to link with c-ares instead of ares.

Daniel (2 February 2004)
- Added a configure test to check for which option the (g)nroff tool wants
  to extract plain text from the man pages. Tor Arntsen told us the AIX
  version of GNU gnroff doesn't support -man!

- Added an undef of accept in memdebug.h to make curl build with --enable-debug
  on AIX 5.2 which seems to have accept defined. Reported by Tor Arntsen.

- curl_version() now includes c-ares version info, and curl_version_info() now
  returns a struct with version SECOND that also includes that info.

- We are now officially using c-ares for asynch name resolves. c-ares is the
  new library, based on the existing ares but with an extended and slightly
  modified API.

- Dirk improved the ares timeout code, and now we also include the ares error
  string when we fail to resolve a name.

- Another tweak to make test case 91 run fine. Now we have another bit on a
  connection that is set true if the connection is marked for 'retry'. That
  makes the connection get closed and re-opened and the HTTP-done code must
  not complain on the fact that no data was received.

- Based on Dirk Manske's patch, I modified the name resolving with ares to
  feature a timeout for really slow lookups. It now defaults to 300 seconds,
  but is now adjusted to the CONNECTTIMEOUT/TIMOUE timeouts if one of them
  is set.

- Fixed the inclusion of ca-bundle.h to really use the one in the build dir
  before the one in the source dir. Domenico Andreoli found out and reported.

- Added test case 97, a simple POST with a custom Content-Type header
  replacing the original application/x-www-form-urlencoded one.

Daniel (30 January 2004)
- Added code that attempts to fix the test 91 failure. As has been figured out
  by Patrick Smith, the error happens because we re-use a connection that the
  server is just about to close and we even manage to send away the request
  without seeing an error. On the first read attempt we get a ECONNRESET.
  Starting now, we attempt to detect this and if so, we retry the request on a
  fresh connection.

- I added test case 510 which is a custom program that does a POST using a
  read callback, with chunked transfer-encoding.

- Adjusted one of the MPE/iX changes as it made test case 504 fail all over.

- Added --socks as a recognized option. It works just like --proxy but sets a
  SOCKS5 proxy to use. SOCKS5 support has been available in libcurl for a
  while, just not provided by the curl tool. This does not currently work for
  IPv6-enabled libcurls.

Daniel (29 January 2004)
- Stadler Stephan pointed out that src/hugehelp.c included config.h without
  checking the define if its present...

- Ken Hirsch provided patches to make curl build fine on the MPE/iX operating
  system.

- Dan Fandrich compiled curl with lots of aggressively pedantic compiler
  options and thus found a few minor errors and did some general cleanups to
  avoid them.

- Dirk Manske fixed a flaw in ares that prevented it to use non-blocking
  sockets properly.

Daniel (28 January 2004)
- Richard Bramante fixed chunked transfer-encoded "uploads" to send a final
  CRLF combo properly.

Daniel (27 January 2004)
- Made the response-headers during a CONNECT request to a proxy get passed on
  as regular headers, so they appear with -i/-I options and similar.

- Based on a patch by Gisle Vanem, I've made the progress meter display
  properly switch to a GB-display when more than 9999MB have been transfered.

Daniel (23 January 2004)
- Gisle Vanem pointed out a curlrc parser problem/crash when an option with a
  required didn't have one and was on the last line of a file.

- More Windows fixes for large files. We now build and link with
  ../lib/strtoofft.c in the app code since Curl_strtoll() is not a provided
  libcurl function... Perhaps we should consider a 'common' dir or similar
  where we put source code used in both the lib and the client. Or perhaps
  we'll just make this function available in the library...

- Vincent Bronner found out the socks5 code crashed when no username was
  set.

- Vincent Bronner spotted a problem with proxy username/password when re-using
  a persistent connection.

- Fixed the progress meter display for files larger than 2^31 bytes. Gisle
  Vanem reported.

Daniel (22 January 2004)
- Gisle Vanem made strtoll() get used when curl is built with the mingw
  compiler.

- Gisle Vanem fixed the compressed help text code to display properly.

- Removed the '#define HttpPost' from the public header file, as curl_httppost
  is the proper name and it has been for quite some time now. Fixes another
  name space pollution.

- Added 'curl_off_t' typedef in the public header file, to be used to provide
  large file sizes to the *_LARGE options. Adjusted the code all over to use
  this variable type instead of 'off_t'. This is an attempt to make the large
  file support work on more platforms. The configure script now checks the
  size of the curl_off_t instead of the plain off_t.

Version 7.11.0 (22 January 2004)

Daniel (21 January 2004)
- Removed the defines in the public header file with TIMECOND_ prefixes. They
  have been obsolete since April 22nd 2002, and if this causes anyone any
  problems now it is very easy to just add CURL_ to the names. This corrects
  this name space pollution.

Daniel (19 January 2004)
- David Byron cleaned up how --trace with no option was treated, and also
  arguments in a config file without a required parameter!

Daniel (16 January 2004)
- Gisle Vanem fixed a few issues where compilers warned about variables
  possibly being used unassigned.

- Minor Interix build problem fixed.

Daniel (15 January 2004)
- Peter Sylvester pointed out some necessary escaping needed in the
  acinclude.m4 file when automake 1.8 or later is used.

Daniel (14 January 2004)
- Vincent Bronner fixed the Curl_resolv() return code. This extends the fix
  Steve Green provided on december 3...

Daniel (13 January 2004)
- Luke Call made the win32 version of the password prompting function support
  backspace.

- Dan Fandrich fixed the hugehelp source file to contain both a compressed and
  an uncompressed version in the distribution, so that more people easier can
  build curl with the compressed version.

- Diego Casorran brought another AmigaOS build patch for native Amiga builds.

- Matt Veenstra updated the Mac OS X framework files.

- Brian R Duffy brought a section to the INSTALL file on how to build a
  SSL-enabled curl using the free Borland C++ compiler. He also updated the
  Borland lib/Makefile.b32.

- I fixed the test case 509 which I broke yesterday. Now the libtest are
  compiled with an include path that points to the library's source dir, so
  that the libtests can include files from the source tree. This was made to
  make it possible to use the USE_SSLEAY define in the library test files.

Daniel (12 January 2004)
- Peter Sylvester brought code that now allows a callback to modified the URL
  even when the multi interface is used, and then libcurl will simulate a
  "follow location" to that new URL. Test 509 was added to test this feature.

- Extended the time we retry servers in the test script, and I also made it
  retry the https and ftps servers before they are considered bad. I believe
  the previous approach could turn problematic on really slow hosts.

Version 7.11.0-pre1 (12 January 2004)

Daniel (11 January 2004)
- Dominick Meglio pointed out FTPS should use default port 990 according to
  IANA.

Daniel (8 January 2004)
- Fixed the SPNEGO configure check to not use -R or other non-portable options
  in the LDFLAGS. Reported by Pierre in bug report #872930.

Daniel (5 January 2004)
- Dan Fandrich provided a fix on our zlib usage.

- David J Meyer's patch that introduce large file support to libcurl was
  applied. New curl_easy_setopt options that accept 'off_t' arguments are:

  INFILESIZE_LARGE
  RESUME_FROM_LARGE
  MAXFILESIZE_LARGE

Daniel (4 January 2004)
- Based on Dominick Meglio's comments, I made our private version of
  gettimeofday() declared static. This would otherwise collide with the same
  function in other libs (like ares for example).

- Added Dominick Meglio's description on how to build libcurl with ares
  on win32.
