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.
curl_easy_setopt: CURLOPT_USERNAME and CURLOPT_PASSWORD that sort of
deprecates the good old CURLOPT_USERPWD since they allow applications to set
the user name and password independently and perhaps more importantly allow
both to contain colon(s) which CURLOPT_USERPWD doesn't fully support.
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.
enabling this feature with CURLOPT_CERTINFO for a request using SSL (HTTPS
or FTPS), libcurl will gather lots of server certificate info and that info
can then get extracted by a client after the request has completed with
curl_easy_getinfo()'s CURLINFO_CERTINFO option. Linus Nielsen Feltzing
helped me test and smoothen out this feature.
Unfortunately, this feature currently only works with libcurl built to use
OpenSSL.

Server with the correct content-length. Sending a file with 511 or less
bytes, content-length 512 is used. Sending a file with 513 - 1023 bytes,
content-length 1024 is used. Files with a length of a multiple of 512 Bytes
show the correct content-length. Only these files work for upload.

incorrectly--the host name is treated as part of the user name and the
port number becomes the password. This can be observed in test 279
(was KNOWN_ISSUE #54).
parser to allow numerical IPv6-addresses to be specified with the scope
given, as per RFC4007 - with a percent letter that itself needs to be URL
escaped. For example, for an address of fe80::1234%1 the HTTP URL is:
"http://[fe80::1234%251]/"
server using the multi interface, the commands are not being sent correctly
and instead the connection is "cancelled" (the operation is considered done)
prematurely. There is a half-baked (busy-looping) patch provided in the bug
report but it cannot be accepted as-is. See
