Added missing information, from curl 7.31.0, regarding the use of the
optional login options that may be specified as part of --user.
For example:
--user 'user:password;auth=NTLM' in IMAP, POP3 and SMTP protocols.
Added the ability to use an XOAUTH2 bearer token [RFC6750] with POP3 for
authentication using RFC6749 "OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework".
The bearer token is expected to be valid for the user specified in
conn->user. If CURLOPT_XOAUTH2_BEARER is defined and the connection has
an advertised auth mechanism of "XOAUTH2", the user and access token are
formatted as a base64 encoded string and sent to the server as
"AUTH XOAUTH2 <bearer token>".
Implement wrappers around strtod to convert the user argument to a
double with sane error checking. Use this to allow --max-time and
--connect-timeout to accept decimal values instead of strictly integers.
The manpage is updated to make mention of this feature and,
additionally, forewarn that the actual timeout of the operation can
vary in its precision (particularly as the value increases in its
decimal precision).
Users using the Secure Transport (darwinssl) back-end can now use a
certificate and private key to authenticate with a site using TLS. Because
Apple's security system is based around the keychain and does not have any
non-public function to create a SecIdentityRef data structure from data
loaded outside of the Keychain, the certificate and private key have to be
loaded into the Keychain first (using the certtool command line tool or
the Security framework's C API) before we can find it and use it.
- document the double-quote and backslash need be escaped if quoting.
- libcurl formdata escape double-quote in filename by backslash.
- curl formparse can parse filename both contains '"' and ',' or ';'.
- curl now can uploading file with ',' or ';' in filename.

Documented that --include will be ignored if both --metalink
and --include are specified.
Also documented that a Metalink file in the local file system
cannot be used if FILE protocol is disabled.
By modifying the parameter list for ourWriteOut() and passing the
OutStruct that collects data in tool_operate, we get access to the
remote name that we're writing to. Shell scripters should find this
useful when used in conjuntion with the --remote-header-name option.
Original wording could lead users in thinking it tries to
somehow parse the filename for a date expression (like
news_2012_03_05.html). It never mentions that it actually
reads the mtime of the file in filesystem.
This new option tells curl to not work around a security flaw in the
SSL3 and TLS1.0 protocols. It uses the new libcurl option
CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS with the CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST bit set.
Use the new library CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE rather than disabling this via
the sockopt callback. If --keepalive-time is used, apply the value to
CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE and CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL.
As is pointed out in this bug report, there can indeed be situation
where --stderr has a point even when the "real" stderr can be
redirected. Remove the superfluous and wrong comment.

Document the possibility of providing multiple values using the ":"
separator, and the fact that the default value will be ignored if the
option is used.
Follow style of GNU layout (cp, mv ...) where options are separated with
comma: -o, --option
Order item alphabetically (by length also): -o, -O, --option
Follow style of GNU layout by moving help related options to the end:
--help, -M, --version
Stress that it is for client certificates and then mention that it also
works for all other SSL-based protocols apart from HTTPS and
FTPS. Namely POP3S, IMAPS and SMTPS for now.
This enables people to specify a path to the netrc file to use.
The new option override --netrc if both are present. However it
does follow --netrc-optional if specified.
... and update the curl.1 and curl_easy_setopt.3 man pages such that
they do not suggest to use an OpenSSL utility if curl is not built
against OpenSSL.

versions --ftp-ssl and --ftp-ssl-reqd as these options are now used to
control SSL/TLS for IMAP, POP3 and SMTP as well in addition to FTP. The old
option names are still working but the new ones are the prefered ones
(listed and documented).
command is a special "hack" used by the drftpd server, but even though it is
a custom extension I've deemed it fine to add to libcurl since this server
seems to survive and people keep using it and want libcurl to support
it. The new libcurl option is named CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, and it is also
usable from the curl tool with --ftp-pret. Using this option on a server
that doesn't support this command will make libcurl fail.
on FTP errors in the transient 5xx range. Transient FTP errors are in the
4xx range. The code itself only tried on 5xx errors that occured _at login_.
Now the retry code retries on all FTP transfer failures that ended with a
4xx response.

read stdin in a non-blocking fashion. This also brings back -T- (minus) to
the previous blocking behavior since it could break stuff for people at
times.
than what's absolutely necessary:
curl will do its best to use what you pass to it as a URL. It is not trying to
validate it as a syntactically correct URL by any means but is instead
VERY liberal with what it accepts.
Koenig pointed out that the man page didn't tell that the *_proxy
environment variables can be specified lower case or UPPER CASE and the
lower case takes precedence,
