Curl and libcurl 7.18.0
working draft of the upcoming 7.10.8 release notes
2003-09-22 17:38:52 -04:00
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 05:21:31 -04:00
Public curl releases: 103
Based on Maxim Perenesenko's patch, we now do SOCKS5 operations and let the proxy do the host name resolving and only if --socks5ip (or CURLOPT_SOCKS5_RESOLVE_LOCAL) is used we resolve the host name locally and pass on the IP address only to the proxy.
2008-01-04 18:01:00 -05:00
Command line options: 125
Based on further discussion on curl-library, I reverted yesterday's SOCKS5 code to instead introduce support for a new proxy type called CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME that is used to send the host name to the proxy instead of IP address and there's thus no longer any need for a new curl_easy_setopt() option. The default SOCKS5 proxy is again back to sending the IP address to the proxy. The new curl command line option for enabling sending host name to a SOCKS5 proxy is now --socks5-hostname.
2008-01-05 17:04:18 -05:00
curl_easy_setopt() options: 148
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.

Public functions in libcurl: 56
Ates Goral identified a problem in http.c:add_buffer_send() when a debug callback was used, as it could wrongly pass on a bad size for the outgoing HTTP header. The bad size would be a very large value as it was a wrapped size_t content. This happened when the whole HTTP request failed to get sent in one single send. http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-11/0165.html

Known libcurl bindings: 36
Contributors: 597
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 04:53:21 -05:00
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.
2006-08-08 18:56:46 -04:00
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 07:32:05 -04:00
Introuced --data-urlencode to the curl tool for easier url encoding of the data sent in a post.
2007-11-20 05:08:42 -05:00
o --data-urlencode was added
Michal Marek introduced CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE which is used to control the appending of the "type=" thing on FTP URLs when they are passed to a HTTP proxy. Some proxies just don't like that appending (which is done unconditionally in 7.17.1), and some proxies treat binary/ascii transfers better with the appending done!
2007-12-02 18:38:23 -05:00
o CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE was added
Added Daniel Egger and extended the --no-keep-alive description
2008-01-05 16:04:18 -05:00
o --no-keep-alive was added, since starting now curl is doing connections with
keep-alive enabled by default
Richard Atterer brought a patch that added support for SOCKS4a proxies, which is an inofficial PROXY4 variant that sends the hostname to the proxy instead of the resolved address (which is already supported by SOCKS5). --socks4a is the curl command line option for it and CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE can now be set to CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A as well.
2008-01-02 16:40:11 -05:00
o --socks4a added (proxy type CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A for libcurl)
Based on further discussion on curl-library, I reverted yesterday's SOCKS5 code to instead introduce support for a new proxy type called CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME that is used to send the host name to the proxy instead of IP address and there's thus no longer any need for a new curl_easy_setopt() option. The default SOCKS5 proxy is again back to sending the IP address to the proxy. The new curl command line option for enabling sending host name to a SOCKS5 proxy is now --socks5-hostname.
2008-01-05 17:04:18 -05:00

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 09:52:05 -05:00

HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection
2007-07-22 06:17:52 -04:00
This release includes the following bugfixes:
curl-config --features and --protocols show the correct output when built with NSS
2007-10-29 18:13:09 -04:00
o curl-config --features and --protocols show the correct output when built
Fixed curl-config --features to not display libz when it wasn't used due to a missing header file.
2007-11-01 14:55:00 -04:00
with NSS, and also when SCP, SFTP and libz are not available
Toby Peterson patched a memory problem in the command line tool that happened when a user had a home dir as an empty string. curl would then do free() on a wrong area.
2007-11-01 17:49:59 -04:00
o free problem in the curl tool for users with empty home dir
Bug report #1824894 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1824894) pointed out a problem in curl.h when building C++ apps with MSVC. To fix it, the inclusion of header files in curl.h is moved outside of the C++ extern "C" linkage block.
2007-11-06 12:18:27 -05:00
o curl.h version 7.17.1 problem when building C++ apps with MSVC
Bug report #1823487 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1823487) pointed out that SFTP requests didn't use persistent connections. Neither did SCP ones. I gave the SSH code a good beating and now both SCP and SFTP should use persistent connections fine. I also did a bunch for indent changes as well as a bug fix for the "keyboard interactive" auth.
2007-11-08 05:22:49 -05:00
o SFTP and SCP use persistent connections
Bug report #1830637 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1830637), which was forwarded from the Gentoo bug tracker by Daniel Black and was originally submitted by Robin Johnson, pointed out that libcurl would do bad memory references when it failed and bailed out before the handler thing was setup. My fix is not done like the provided patch does it, but instead I make sure that there's never any chance for a NULL pointer in that struct member.
2007-11-12 16:38:43 -05:00
o segfault on bad URL
Fix a variable potential wrapping in add_buffer() when using absolutely huge send buffer sizes
2007-11-13 19:48:11 -05:00

in one go
Rob Crittenden fixed SSL connections with NSS done with the multi-interface
2007-11-18 04:45:05 -05:00
o SSL connections with NSS done with the multi-interface
While inspecting the Negotiate code, I noticed how the proxy auth was using the same state struct as the host auth, so both could never be used at the same time! I fixed it (without being able to check) to use two separate structs to allow authentication using Negotiate on host and proxy simultanouesly.
2007-11-20 18:17:08 -05:00
o setting a share no longer activates cookies
o Negotiate now works on auth and proxy simultanouesly
ftp resumed upload and long Digest nonces
2007-11-29 17:15:22 -05:00
o support HTTP Digest nonces up to 1023 letters
o resumed ftp upload no longer requires the read callback to return full
buffers
mention "no longer default-appends ;type= on FTP URLs thru proxies" as a bug fix even if kind of implied by the new option
2007-12-03 06:41:36 -05:00
o no longer default-appends ;type= on FTP URLs thru proxies
SSL session id caching bugfix
2007-12-03 06:49:20 -05:00
o SSL session id caching
Spacen Jasset reported a problem with doing POST (with data read with a callback) over a proxy when NTLM is used as auth with the proxy. The bug also concerned Digest and was limited to using callback only. Spacen worked with us to provide a useful patch. I added the test case 547 and 548 to verify two variations of POST over proxy with NTLM.
2007-12-05 16:20:14 -05:00
o POST with callback over proxy requiring NTLM or Digest
David Wright filed bug report #1849764 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1849764) with an included fix. He identified a problem for re-used connections that previously had sent Expect: 100-continue and in some situations the subsequent POST (that didn't use Expect:) still had the internal flag set for its use. David's fix (that makes the setting of the flag in every single request unconditionally) is fine and is now used!
2007-12-13 05:00:06 -05:00
o Expect: 100-continue flaw on re-used connection with POSTs
pollfd struct and WSA_poll fixes for Windows Vista already present in CVS
2007-12-18 05:36:32 -05:00
o build fix for MSVC 9.0 (VS2008)
(http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2007-12/0039.html) reported and fixed a file truncation problem on Windows build targets triggered when retrying a download with curl.
2007-12-18 13:33:24 -05:00
o Windows curl builds failed file truncation when retry downloading
Gary Maxwell filed bug report #1856628 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1856628) and provided a fix for the (small) memory leak in the SSL session ID caching code. It happened when a previous entry in the cache was re-used.
2007-12-24 18:45:48 -05:00
o SSL session ID cache memory leak
Dmitry Kurochkin mentioned a flaw (http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-12/0252.html) in detect_proxy() which failed to set the bits.proxy variable properly when an environment variable told libcurl to use a http proxy.
2007-12-26 18:29:35 -05:00
o bad connection re-use check with environment variable-activated proxy use
Mohun Biswas pointed out that --libcurl generated a source code with an int function but without a return statement. While fixing that, I also took care about adding some better comments for the generated code.
2008-01-01 16:11:26 -05:00
o --libcurl now generates a return statement as well
I removed the socklen_t use from the public curl/curl.h header and instead made it an unsigned int. The type was only used in the curl_sockaddr struct definition (only used by the curl_opensocket_callback). On all platforms I could find information about, socklen_t is 32 unsigned bits large so I don't think this will break the API or ABI. The main reason for this change is of course for all the platforms that don't have a socklen_t definition in their headers to build fine again. Providing our own configure magic and custom definition of socklen_t on those systems proved to work but was a lot of cruft, code and extra magic needed - when this very small change of type seems harmless and still solves the missing socklen_t problem.
2008-01-02 17:23:27 -05:00
o socklen_t is no longer used in the public includes
Jeff Johnson filed bug report #1863171 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1863171) where he pointed out that libcurl's date parser didn't accept a +1300 time zone which actually is used fairly often (like New Zealand's Dailight Savings Time), so I modified the parser to now accept up to and including -1400 to +1400.
2008-01-06 05:50:57 -05:00
o time zone offsets from -1400 to +1400 are now accepted by the date parser
