From 18faa509403c39b4914114cfe2966241b62b2959 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Stenberg Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2008 10:30:19 +0000 Subject: Georg Lippitsch brought CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SEEKDATA to allow libcurl to seek in a given input stream. This is particularly important when doing upload resumes when there's already a huge part of the file present remotely. Before, and still if this callback isn't used, libcurl will read and through away the entire file up to the point to where the resuming begins (which of course can be a slow opereration depending on file size, I/O bandwidth and more). This new function will also be preferred to get used instead of the CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION for seeking back in a stream when doing multi-stage HTTP auth with POST/PUT. --- RELEASE-NOTES | 15 ++++++++------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) (limited to 'RELEASE-NOTES') diff --git a/RELEASE-NOTES b/RELEASE-NOTES index bcfb898cc..27d22dc94 100644 --- a/RELEASE-NOTES +++ b/RELEASE-NOTES @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ Curl and libcurl 7.18.0 Public curl releases: 103 Command line options: 125 - curl_easy_setopt() options: 148 + curl_easy_setopt() options: 150 Public functions in libcurl: 56 Public web site mirrors: 42 Known libcurl bindings: 36 @@ -10,13 +10,14 @@ Curl and libcurl 7.18.0 This release includes the following changes: - o --data-urlencode was added - o CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE was added - o --no-keep-alive was added, since starting now curl is doing connections with - keep-alive enabled by default + o --data-urlencode + o CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE + o --no-keep-alive - now curl does connections with keep-alive enabled by + default o --socks4a added (proxy type CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A for libcurl) o --socks5-hostname added (CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME for libcurl) - o curl_easy_pause() added + o curl_easy_pause() + o CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SEEKDATA This release includes the following bugfixes: @@ -69,6 +70,6 @@ advice from friends like these: Emil Romanus, Alessandro Vesely, Ray Pekowski, Spacen Jasset, Andrew Moise, Gilles Blanc, David Wright, Vikram Saxena, Mateusz Loskot, Gary Maxwell, Dmitry Kurochkin, Mohun Biswas, Richard Atterer, Maxim Perenesenko, - Daniel Egger, Jeff Johnson + Daniel Egger, Jeff Johnson, Nikitinskit Dmitriy, Georg Lippitsch Thanks!
