        Thanks! (and sorry if I forgot to mention someone)
and we are now on the 7.19.3 road 2008-11-13 08:24:00 -05:00			`Curl and libcurl 7.19.3`
working draft of the upcoming 7.10.8 release notes 2003-09-22 17:38:52 -04:00
and we are now on the 7.19.3 road 2008-11-13 08:24:00 -05:00			`Public curl releases: 109`
- 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. 2008-09-05 12:13:20 -04:00			`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. 2008-10-16 16:21:22 -04:00			`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. 2008-05-12 17:43:24 -04:00			`Public functions in libcurl: 58`
oops, counted one of them twice! 2008-10-07 14:14:11 -04:00			`Known libcurl bindings: 37`

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:`
mention the curl_off_t changes first 2008-09-01 10:27:24 -04:00
and we're back on square one working on the next release... 2008-11-05 07:17:30 -05:00			`o`

HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection 2007-07-22 06:17:52 -04:00			`This release includes the following bugfixes:`

Christian Krause fixed a build failure when building with gss support enabled and FTP disabled. 2008-11-16 07:42:53 -05:00			`o build failure when disabling FTP but enabling GSS`
my recent changes 2008-11-15 18:47:01 -05:00			`o fixed several calls to memory functions that didn't check return codes`
			`o memory leak for SSL connects with libcurl/NSS when CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT was`
			`used`
- Andreas Wurf and Markus Koetter helped me analyze a problem that Andreas got when uploading files to a single FTP server using multiple easy handle handles with the multi interface. Occasionally a handle would stall in mysterious ways. The problem turned out to be a side-effect of the ConnectionExists() function's eagerness to re-use a handle for HTTP pipelining so it would select it even if already being in use, due to an inadequate check for its chances of being used for pipelnining. 2008-11-19 05:15:19 -05:00			`o re-use of connections with the multi interface when multiple handles used`
			`the same server`
- Christian Krause reported and fixed a memory leak that would occur with HTTP GSS/kerberos authentication (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2284386) 2008-11-19 09:22:01 -05:00			`o memory leak with HTTP GSS/kerberos authentication`
