2011-03-08curl.1: clarify -EDaniel Stenberg
Stress that it is for client certificates and then mention that it also works for all other SSL-based protocols apart from HTTPS and FTPS. Namely POP3S, IMAPS and SMTPS for now.
2011-02-20curl: Added --netrc-file.Julien Chaffraix
This enables people to specify a path to the netrc file to use. The new option override --netrc if both are present. However it does follow --netrc-optional if specified.

2010-01-23Added -J/--remote-header-name.Bjorn Stenberg
2010-01-02- Make curl support --ssl and --ssl-reqd instead of the previous FTP-specificDaniel Stenberg
versions --ftp-ssl and --ftp-ssl-reqd as these options are now used to control SSL/TLS for IMAP, POP3 and SMTP as well in addition to FTP. The old option names are still working but the new ones are the prefered ones (listed and documented).
2010-01-01- Ingmar Runge enhanced libcurl's FTP engine to support the PRET command. ThisDaniel Stenberg
command is a special "hack" used by the drftpd server, but even though it is a custom extension I've deemed it fine to add to libcurl since this server seems to survive and people keep using it and want libcurl to support it. The new libcurl option is named CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, and it is also usable from the curl tool with --ftp-pret. Using this option on a server that doesn't support this command will make libcurl fail.
2009-12-31--mail-rcpt and --mail-from are starting to settle and work like this...Daniel Stenberg
2009-12-10- Siegfried Gyuricsko found out that the curl manual said --retry would retryDaniel Stenberg
on FTP errors in the transient 5xx range. Transient FTP errors are in the 4xx range. The code itself only tried on 5xx errors that occured _at login_. Now the retry code retries on all FTP transfer failures that ended with a 4xx response. (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2911279)

2009-10-01mention some alternative method names in the docs for --requestDaniel Stenberg
2009-10-01mention "quiet" for the --silent option to get easier to findDaniel Stenberg
2009-08-24- Eric Wong introduced support for the new option -T. (dot) that makes curlDaniel Stenberg
read stdin in a non-blocking fashion. This also brings back -T- (minus) to the previous blocking behavior since it could break stuff for people at times.
2009-08-14I think it's worth clarifying that curl DOES NOT validate a given URL moreDaniel Stenberg
than what's absolutely necessary: curl will do its best to use what you pass to it as a URL. It is not trying to validate it as a syntactically correct URL by any means but is instead VERY liberal with what it accepts.
2009-08-04RFC1867 was updated by RFC2388Daniel Stenberg
2009-06-30silly typo, pointed out by Fabian KeilDaniel Stenberg
2009-06-29- Markus Koetter made CURLOPT_FTPPORT (and curl's -P/--ftpport) support a portDaniel Stenberg
range if given colon-separated after the host name/address part. Like "192.168.0.1:2000-10000"
2009-04-23- bug report #2779245 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2779245) by RainerDaniel Stenberg
Koenig pointed out that the man page didn't tell that the *_proxy environment variables can be specified lower case or UPPER CASE and the lower case takes precedence,
2009-02-27mention the '-o -' trickDaniel Stenberg
2009-02-20clarified the FTP passive/active mode options somewhatDaniel Stenberg
2009-02-04Fixed a typo (spotted in the FreeBSD ports).Dan Fandrich
2009-02-02- Craig A West brought us: libcurl now defaults to do CONNECT with HTTPDaniel Stenberg
version 1.1 instead of 1.0 like before. This change also introduces the new proxy type for libcurl called 'CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0' that then allows apps to switch (back) to CONNECT 1.0 requests. The curl tool also got a --proxy1.0 option that works exactly like --proxy but sets CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0. I updated all test cases cases that use CONNECT and I tried to do some using --proxy1.0 and some updated to do CONNECT 1.1 to get both versions run.
2009-01-28- Markus Moeller introduced two new options to libcurl:Daniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE and CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_NEC to allow libcurl to do GSS-style authentication with SOCKS5 proxies. The curl tool got the options called --socks5-gssapi-service and --socks5-gssapi-nec to enable these.
2009-01-25- Craig A West brought CURLOPT_NOPROXY and the corresponding --noproxy option.Daniel Stenberg
They basically offer the same thing the NO_PROXY environment variable only offered previously: list a set of host names that shall not use the proxy even if one is specified.
2008-12-22- Anthony Bryan provided a set of patches that cleaned up manual language,Daniel Stenberg
corrected spellings and more.
2008-10-29--ftp-method was added in 7.15.1. This mention ends up a bit oddly formattedDaniel Stenberg
but I'm not in the mood to fight nroff right now...
