These problems have gotten no interest/feedback from users:
-275 - Introduce a way to avoid sending USER for FTP connections
-288 - bug 3219997 curl rtmp request curl: (55) select/poll returned error
This problem is rather an autoconf bug with little user interest and it
can be worked around with an older autoconf:
-278 - "Configure $as_echo does not work"
This problem is not fixed:
-286 - bug 3214223 Pipelined HTTP requests with a zero-length body broken
Stop the abuse of CURLE_FAILED_INIT as return code for things not being
init related by introducing two new return codes:
CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION
CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN replaces return code 4 that has been obsoleted for
several years. It is used for returning error when something is
attempted to be used but the feature/option was not enabled or
explictitly disabled at build-time. Getting this error mostly means that
libcurl needs to be rebuilt.
CURLE_FAILED_INIT is now saved and used strictly for init
failures. Getting this problem means something went seriously wrong,
like a resource shortage or similar.
CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION is the option formerly known as
CURLE_UNKNOWN_TELNET_OPTION (and the old name is still present,
separately defined to be removed in a very distant future). This error
code is meant to be used to return when an option is given to libcurl
that isn't known. This problem would mostly indicate a problem in the
program that uses libcurl.
In my attempts to reduce #ifdefs in code, the SOCKS functions are now
macros when libcurl is built without proxy support and therefore the FTP
code could avoid some #ifs.
The new http_proxy.* files now host HTTP proxy specific code (500+ lines
moved out from http.c), and as a consequence there is a macro introduced
for the Curl_proxyCONNECT() function so that code can use it without
actually supporting proxy (or HTTP) in builds.
1 - make sure to #define macros for cookie functions in the cookie
header when cookies are disabled to avoid having to use #ifdefs in code
using those functions.
2 - move cookie-specific code to cookie.c and use the functio
conditionally as mentioned in (1).
net result: 6 #if lines removed, and 9 lines of code less
Within multi_socket when conn is used as a shorthand, data could be
changed and multi_runsingle could modify the connectdata struct to deal
with. This bug has not been included in a public release.
Using 'conn' like that turned out to be ugly. This change is a partial
revert of commit f1c6cd42f4.

The read callback must return the exact requested amount of data when it
is used for doing TFTP uploads. This is due to how it deals with data
internally. This could/should be fixed but for now we document the
existing behavior.

When asked to bind the local end of a connection when doing a request,
the code will now disqualify other existing connections from re-use even
if they are connected to the correct remote host.
This will also affect which connections that can be used for pipelining,
so that only connections that aren't bound or bound to the same
device/port you're asking for will be considered.
The RTSP-specific function for checking for "dead" connection is better
located in rtsp.c. The code using this is now written without #ifdefs as
the function call is instead turned into a macro (in rtsp.h) when RTSP
is disabled.
Fixed:
271 - fix the IPv6-working probing to only exist at one place in the code and
only get done once
A problem not repeatable and no proper recipe given and therefore simply
removed for now until we hear something else:
282 - 100 Continue responses should return the "final" HTTP response code:
"Getting the HTTP response code following a 100 Continue"
Move ipv6-functional-probe into a single function that is used from all
places that need to know.
Make the probe function store the result in a static variable so that
subsequent invokes just returns the previous result and won't have to
probe again.
This is a new documentation for the source tree. This information has
been present since a long time at
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html but now it is put into a plain
text version too for wider distribution. The web version will be
automatically generated from this source document.
Curl_posttransfer is called too soon to add the final new line.
Moved the new line logic to pgrsDone as there is no more call to
update the progress status after this call.

When libcurl sends a HTTP request on a re-used connection and detects it
being closed (ie no data at all was read from it), it is important to
rewind if any data in the request was sent using the read callback or
was read from file, as otherwise the retried request will be broken.
