I just noticed that OS X no longer supports SSLv2. Other TLS engines return
an error if the requested protocol isn't supported by the underlying
engine, so we do that now for SSLv2 if the framework returns an error
when trying to turn on SSLv2 support. (Note: As always, SSLv2 support is
only enabled in curl when starting the app with the -2 argument; it's off
by default. SSLv2 is really old and insecure.)
When doing multi-part formposts, libcurl used a pseudo-random value that
was seeded with time(). This turns out to be bad for users who formpost
data that is provided with users who then can guess how the boundary
string will look like and then they can forge a different formpost part
and trick the receiver.
My advice to such implementors is (still even after this change) to not
rely on the boundary strings being cryptographically strong. Fix your
code and logic to not depend on them that much!
I moved the Curl_rand() function into the sslgen.c source file now to be
able to take advantage of the SSL library's random function if it
provides one. If not, try to use the RANDOM_FILE for seeding and as a
last resort keep the old logic, just modified to also add microseconds
which makes it harder to properly guess the exact seed.
The formboundary() function in formdata.c is now using 64 bit entropy
for the boundary and therefore the string of dashes was reduced by 4
letters and there are 16 hex digits following it. The total length is
thus still the same.

When using %x, the number must be treated as unsigned as otherwise it
would get sign-extended on for example 64bit machines and do wrong
output. This problem showed when doing printf("%08x", 0xffeeddcc) on a
64bit host.
Follow-up fix from 7d80ed64e4.
The SessionHandle may not be around to use when we restore the sigpipe
sighandler so we store the no_signal boolean in the local struct to know
if/how to restore.
When the c-ares based resolver backend failed to resolve a name, it
tried to show the name that failed from existing structs. This caused
the wrong output and shown hostname when for example --interface
[hostname] was used and that name resolving failed.
Now we use the hostname used in the actual resolve attempt in the error
message as well.

When we recently started to treat a zero return code from SSL_read() as
an error we also got false positives - which primarily looks to be
because the OpenSSL documentation is wrong and a zero return code is not
at all an error case in many situations.
Now ossl_recv() will check with ERR_get_error() to see if there is a
stored error and only then consider it to be a true error if SSL_read()
returned zero.

Something (a recent security update maybe?) changed in Lion, and now it
has changed SSLCopyPeerTrust such that it may return noErr but also give
us a null trust, which caught us off guard and caused an eventual crash.
... and restore the ordinary handling again when it returns. This is
done for curl_easy_perform() and curl_easy_cleanup() only for now - and
only when built to use OpenSSL as backend as this is the known culprit
for the spurious SIGPIPEs people have received.

This doesn't need to be in the release notes. I cleaned up a lot of the #if
lines in the code to use MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED and
MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED instead of checking for whether things like
__MAC_10_6 or whatever were defined, because for some SDKs Apple has released
they were defined out of place.
RFC3986 details how a path part passed in as part of a URI should be
"cleaned" from dot sequences before getting used. The described
algorithm is now implemented in lib/dotdot.c with the accompanied test
case in test 1395.

Security problem: CVE-2013-2174
If a program would give a string like "%FF" to curl_easy_unescape() but
ask for it to decode only the first byte, it would still parse and
decode the full hex sequence. The function then not only read beyond the
allowed buffer but it would also deduct the *unsigned* counter variable
for how many more bytes there's left to read in the buffer by two,
making the counter wrap. Continuing this, the function would go on
reading beyond the buffer and soon writing beyond the allocated target
buffer...

As a remedy to the problem when a socket gets closed and a new one is
opened with the same file descriptor number and as a result
multi.c:singlesocket() doesn't detect the difference, the new function
Curl_multi_closed() gets told when a socket is closed so that it can be
removed from the socket hash. When the old one has been removed, a new
socket should be detected fine by the singlesocket() on next invoke.

When curl_multi_wait() finds no file descriptor to wait for, it returns
instantly and this must be handled gracefully within curl_easy_perform()
or cause a busy-loop. Starting now, repeated fast returns without any
file descriptors is detected and a gradually increasing sleep will be
used (up to a max of 1000 milliseconds) before continuing the loop.

The initial fix to only compare full path names were done in commit
04f52e9b4d but found out to be incomplete. This takes should make the
change more complete and there's now two additional tests to verify
(test 31 and 62).
By always returning the md5 for an empty body when auth-int is asked
for, libcurl now at least sometimes does the right thing.

Allow less room for "triggered too early" mistakes by applications /
timers on non-windows platforms. Starting now, we assume that a timeout
call is never made earlier than 3 milliseconds before the actual
timeout. This greatly improves timeout accuracy on Linux.

In the pkcs12 code, we get a list of x509 records returned from
PKCS12_parse but when iterating over the list and passing each to
SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert() we didn't also properly remove them from
the "stack", which made them get freed twice (both in sk_X509_pop_free()
and then later in SSL_CTX_free).
This isn't really documented anywhere...
