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,

2009-04-1863. When CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY is used, the handle cannot reliably be re-usedDaniel Stenberg
for any further requests or transfers. The work-around is then to close that handle with curl_easy_cleanup() and create a new. Some more details: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-04/0300.html

2009-04-17As Jeff Pohlmeyer suggested: "pointer to 'char *'" is now instead put:Daniel Stenberg
"pointer to a char pointer".
2009-04-07clarified after chat in #curlDaniel Stenberg
2009-04-06- I clarified in the docs that CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION should return 0 on successDaniel Stenberg
and 1 on fatal errors. Previously it only mentioned non-zero on fatal errors. This is a slight change in meaning, but it follows what we've done elsewhere before and it opens up for LOTS of more useful return codes whenever we can think of them...
2009-03-20Gary Maxwell helped us clarify that CURLOPT_SHARE specificly needs the lockingDaniel Stenberg
functions if the easy handles are used in multiple threads

more issues for authors to consider when writing robust libcurl-using applications.
2009-03-0315 additional contributor from the 7.19.4 RELEASE-NOTESDaniel Stenberg
2009-03-02- David Kierznowski notified us about a security flawDaniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20090303.html also known as CVE-2009-0037) in which previous libcurl versions (by design) can be tricked to access an arbitrary local/different file instead of a remote one when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. This flaw is now fixed in this release together this the addition of two new setopt options for controlling this new behavior: o CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS controls what protocols libcurl is allowed to follow to when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. By default, this option excludes the FILE and SCP protocols and thus you nee to explicitly allow them in your app if you really want that behavior. o CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS controls what protocol(s) libcurl is allowed to fetch using the primary URL option. This is useful if you want to allow a user or other outsiders control what URL to pass to libcurl and yet not allow all protocols libcurl may have been built to support.

2009-02-23- After a bug reported by James Cheng I've made curl_easy_getinfo() forDaniel Stenberg
CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD and CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD return -1 if the sizes aren't know. Previously these returned 0, make it impossible to detect the difference between actually zero and unknown.
2009-02-23mention default port numberDaniel Stenberg
2009-02-23- I renamed everything in the windows builds files that used the name 'curllib'Daniel Stenberg
to the proper 'libcurl' as clearly this caused confusion.
2009-02-20clarified the FTP passive/active mode options somewhatDaniel Stenberg
2009-02-19The C++ binding home was changedDaniel Stenberg
2009-02-17three new CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR* symbolsDaniel Stenberg
2009-02-17- CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS can now be set to 2 in addition to 1 forDaniel Stenberg
plain FTP connections, and it will then allow MKD to fail once and retry the CWD afterwards. This is especially useful if you're doing many simultanoes connections against the same server and they all have this option enabled, as then CWD may first fail but then another connection does MKD before this connection and thus MKD fails but trying CWD works! The numbers can (should?) now be set with the convenience enums now called CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR and CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY. Tests has proven that if you're making an application that uploads a set of files to an ftp server, you will get a noticable gain in speed if you're using multiple connections and this option will be then be very useful.

2009-02-12Added support for Digest and NTLM authentication using GnuTLS.Dan Fandrich
2009-02-11- CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET was added to allow an application to get to know ifDaniel Stenberg
the condition in the previous request was unmet. This is typically a time condition set with CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION and was previously not possible to reliably figure out. From bug report #2565128 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2565128)

2009-02-10introducing the symbols-in-versions file, in an effort to help app authorsDaniel Stenberg
to better know and track symbols in earlier libcurl versions

2009-02-09#45. libcurl built to support ipv6 uses getaddrinfo() to resolve host names.Daniel Stenberg
getaddrinfo() sorts the response list This isn't a libcurl bug since this is how getaddrinfo() is *supposed* to work! Apparently you deal with this using the /etc/gai.conf file.
2009-02-09#53. SFTP busy-loop problem. should be fixed in 7.19.3 with libssh2 1.0 (orDaniel Stenberg
later)

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.
2009-01-30Mentioned some other characters that may need escaping on the curl commandDan Fandrich
line and fixed a few typos.
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.
2009-01-26- Chad Monroe provided the new CURLOPT_TFTP_BLKSIZE option that allows an appDaniel Stenberg
to set desired block size to use for TFTP transfers instead of the default 512 bytes.
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.
