+Version 7.9.1-pre7
+
+Daniel (31 October 2001)
+- The curl_easy_getinfo() timers accidentally lost they're subsecond accuracy
+  as the calculations used longs instead of doubles! Paul Harrington reported.
+
+- The SSL SocketIsDead() checks weren't good enough (as expected really), so I
+  had to add a generic internal try-it-out system. If the request on a re-used
+  connection seems to fail, then we go back and get a new (fresh) connection
+  and re-tries the request on that instead. It kind of makes the
+  SocketIsDead() check obsolete, but I think it is a quicker way for those
+  cases where it actually discovers that the connection is dead.
+
+- When fixing the above, I noticed that we did quite a few writes to sockets
+  in libcurl where we didn't check the return code (that it actually worked to
+  send the data). With the new "attempted request" system we must detect those
+  situations so I went over a bunch of functions, changed return types and
+  added checks for what they actually return.
+
+Version 7.9.1-pre6
+
+Daniel (31 October 2001)
+- Paul Harrington detected a problem with persistant SSL connections. Or to be
+  more exact, we didn't properly detect that the connection was dead and then
+  a second connection would try to re-use it wrongly. The solution to this
+  problem is still not very clear and I'm working on it. One OpenSSL insider
+  said there is no way to know if the SSL connection is alive or not without
+  actually trying an operation.

+Daniel (30 October 2001)
+- If a cookie was read from a file, it could accidentally strdup() a NULL
+  pointer. Paul Harrington reported. [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/curl/curl/lib/cookie.c.diff?r1=1.25&r2=1.26]
+
+- The MANUAL file now documents -t correctly. I also fixed the -T description
+  in the curl.1 man page.
+
 Daniel (29 October 2001)
+- John Janssen found out that curl_formadd was missing in the libcurl.def file
+  and that the docs stated the wrong return type for the function.
+
+- Andrés García found a bug with multiple files in the curl_formadd() function,
+  that I removed with this patch [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/curl/curl/lib/formdata.c.diff?r1=1.25&r2=1.26].
