@@ -6,6 +6,92 @@ History of Changes +Version *upcoming* 7.4 + +Daniel (9 October 2000) +- Georg Horn provided a source example that proved a memory leak in libcurl. + I added simple memory debugging facilities and now we can make libcurl log + all memory fiddling functions. An additional perl script is used to analyze + the output logfile and to match malloc()s with free()s etc. The memory leak + Georg found turned out to be the main cookie struct that cookie_cleanup() + didn't free! + +Daniel (8 October 2000) +- Georg Horn found a GetHost() problem. It turned out it never assigned the + pointer in the third argument properly! This could make a crash, or at best + a memory leak! + +Version 7.4 pre4 + +Daniel (6 October 2000) +- Is the -F post following the RFCX 1867 spec? We had this dicussion on the + mailing list since it appears curl can't post -F form posts to a PHP + receiver... + +- Domenico Andreoli found out that the long option '--proxy' wasn't working + anymore! The option parser got confused when I added the --proxytunnel for + 7.3. This was indeed a very old flaw that hasn't turned up until now... + +- Jörn Hartroth provided patches, updated makefiles and two new files for DLL + stuff on win32. He also pointed out that lib source files were compiled with + -I../src which isn't only wrong but plain stupid! + +- Troels Walsted Hansen fixed a problem with HTTP resume. Curl previously used + a local variable badly, that could lead to crashes. + +Version 7.4 pre3 + +Daniel (4 October 2000) +- More docs written. The curl_easy_getinfo.3 man page is now pretty accurate, + as is the -w section in curl.1. I added two options to enable the user to + get information about the received headers' size and the size of the HTTP + request. T. Bharath requested them. + +Daniel (3 October 2000) +- Corrected a sever free() before use in the new add_buffer_send()! ;-) + +Version 7.4 pre2 + +Daniel (3 October 2000) +- Jason S. Priebe sent me patches that changed the way curl issues HTTP + requests. The entire request is now issued in one single shot. It didn't do + this previously, and it has turned out that since the common browsers do it + this way, some sites have turned out to work with browsers but not with + curl! Although this is not a client-side problem, we want to be able to + fully emulate browsers, and thus we have now adjusted the networking layer + to slightly more appear as a browser. I adjusted Jason's patch, the faults + are probably mine. + +Daniel (2 October 2000) +- Anyone who ever uploaded data with curl on a slow link has noticed that the + progess meter is updated very infrequently. That is due to the large buffer + size curl is using. It reads 50Kb and sends it, updates the progress meter + and loops. 50Kb is very much on a slow link, although it is pretty neat to + use on a fast one. + + I've now made an adjustment that makes curl use a 2Kb buffer for uploads to + start with. If curl's average upload speed is faster than buffer size bytes + per second, curl will increase the used buffer size up to max 50Kb. It + should make the progress meter work better. + +Version 7.4 pre1 + +Daniel (29 September 2000) +- Ripped out the -w stuff from the library and put in the curl tool. It gets + all the relevant info from the library using the new curl_easy_getinfo() + function. + +- brad at openbsd.org mailed me a patch that corrected my kerberos mistake and + removed a compiler warning from hostip.c that OpenBSD people get. + +Daniel (28 September 2000) +- Of course (I should probably get punished somehow) I didn't properly correct + the #include lines for the base64 stuff in the kerberos sources in the just + released 7.3 package. They still include the *_krb.h files! Now, the error + is sooo very easy to spot and fix so I won't bother with a quick bug fix + release. I'll post a patch whenever one is needed instead. It'll be + available in the CVS in a few minutes anyway. + Version 7.3 Daniel (28 September 2000) |
