@@ -6,6 +6,83 @@ History of Changes +Daniel (24 October 2001) +- T. Bharath found a memory leak in the cookie engine. When we update a cookie + that we already knew about, we lost a chunk of memory in the progress... The + brand new test case 27 now tests for this occurrence. [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/curl/curl/lib/cookie.c.diff?r1=1.24&r2=1.25] + +Daniel (23 October 2001) +- pack_hostent() didn't properly align some pointers, so at least SPARC CPUs + would core. [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/curl/curl/lib/hostip.c.diff?r1=1.34&r2=1.35] + +Daniel (22 October 2001) +- Tom Benoist reported that this SGI IRIX compiler didn't handle indented + preprocessor instructions, so they're no longer in the source code! + +- Applied Kevin Roth's patches to make it easier to build cygwin packages from + the out-of-the-box curl release archives. + +- I forgot to mention it below, but libcurl now closes connections that report + transfer failures. Unconditionally. This could be made more nicely in the + future if we set a flag or something that the connection is still good to be + used for the errors that know that for a fact. We have to close the + connection for the cases where we abort for example a HTTP transfer in the + middle, or otherwise we might re-use that connection later with lots of data + still being sent to us on it. + +Daniel (19 October 2001) +- CURLE_GOT_NOTHING is now returned when a HTTP server doesn't return + anything, not even a header. test case 37 was added to test for this. + +- T. Bharath made curl_easy_duphandle() properly clone the cookie status as + well. + +Version 7.9.1-pre4 + +Daniel (18 October 2001) +- CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, set with "curl --fail" no longer returns an error if + the HTTP return code is below 400. + +Daniel (17 October 2001) +- The test suite now kills any running test http server when you re-start the + tests. + +- We had to remote 'use strict' from two perl scripts, as the cygwin + adjustments didn't play nicely otherwise for some reason. Any perl wizard + out there who can put the scrict back and still make it run good on unix and + cygwin? + +- A potential memory leak pointed out to us by Yanick Pelletier was removed. + It would occur when a http file transfer fails. [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/curl/curl/lib/transfer.c.diff?r1=1.60&r2=1.61] + +- The memory debugging system should no longer display anything to stderr + if the curl_memdebug() hasn't been used to explicitly say so. This makes it + easier to use the memory debug system and switch the logging on/off. + +Daniel (16 October 2001) +- Kevin Roth provided fixes for building curl nicer in cygwin environments. + +Daniel (12 October 2001) +- Cleaning up the progress meter/info code. The "current speed" is now more + accurate than before as we now use the true time spent between the measures, + and not just "assuming" every-second-update like before. The output should + now also be of the same width at all times, never to show "extra" zeroes on + the right edge. + +- After talking about possible Location: bugs on the mailing list, I modified + the "absolute URL" checker in lib/transfer.c to be more strict when checking + if the redirected URL is absolute. + +Daniel (11 October 2001) +- Kevin Roth provided patches that make the test suite run fine on Windows + 2000 running cygwin. + +Daniel (10 October 2001) +- Setting the -c or the CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR option now enables the cookie parser. + Previously -b or CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE was also required for the jar to work. + +Version 7.9.1-pre3 + Daniel (9 October 2001) - Added a new option to the command line client: -0/--http1.0. It uses the new libcurl option CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION to request that libcurl uses HTTP 1.0 |
