start over on our journey towards 7.19.4... 2009-01-19 05:11:25 -05:00			`Public curl releases: 110`
- Craig A West brought CURLOPT_NOPROXY and the corresponding --noproxy option. They basically offer the same thing the NO_PROXY environment variable only offered previously: list a set of host names that shall not use the proxy even if one is specified. 2009-01-25 18:26:25 -05:00			`Command line options: 129`
			`curl_easy_setopt() options: 159`
- 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`
700 friendly contributors after the new ones in 7.19.3 were added 2009-01-19 05:25:47 -05:00			`Contributors: 700`
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:`

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

- Lisa Xu pointed out that the ssh.obj file was missing from the lib/Makefile.vc6 file (and thus from the vc8 and vc9 ones too). 2009-01-20 01:24:25 -05:00			`o missing ssh.obj in VS makefiles`
Fixed a couple more locale-dependent toupper conversions, mainly for clarity. This does fix one problem that causes ;type=i FTP URLs to fail in the Turkish locale when CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE is used (test case 561) Added tests 561 and 1092 through 1094 to test various combinations of ;type= and ;mode= URLs that could potentially fail in the Turkish locale. 2009-01-20 23:42:47 -05:00			`o FTP ;type=i URLs now work with CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE in Turkish locale`
- Alexey Borzov filed bug report #2535504 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2535504) pointing out that realms with quoted quotation marks in HTTP Digest headers didn't work. I've now added test case 1095 that verifies my fix. 2009-01-26 08:19:03 -05:00			`o realms with quoted quotation marks in HTTP Digest headers`

- The "-no_ticket" option was introduced in Openssl0.9.8j. It's a flag to disable "rfc4507bis session ticket support". rfc4507bis was later turned into the proper RFC5077 it seems: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5077 The enabled extension concerns the session management. I wonder how often libcurl stops a connection and then resumes a TLS session. also, sending the session data is some overhead. .I suggest that you just use your proposed patch (which explicitly disables TICKET). If someone writes an application with libcurl and openssl who wants to enable the feature, one can do this in the SSL callback. Sharad Gupta brought this to my attention. Peter Sylvester helped me decide on the proper action. 2009-01-26 09:36:18 -05:00			`Lisa Xu, Daniel Fandrich, Craig A West, Alexey Borzov, Sharad Gupta,`
