Curl and libcurl 7.12.0.
Public curl release number: 81
Releases counted from the very beginning: 108
Available command line options: 96
Available curl_easy_setopt() options: 113
Number of public functions in libcurl: 36
A special thanks to:
archivas.com and Alan Pinstein, for paying me to focus on their requests
This release includes the following changes:
o added ability to "upload" to file:// URLs
o added curl_global_init_mem()
o removed curl_formparse()
o the MSVC project file in the release archive is automatically built
o curl --proxy-digest is a new command line option
o the Windows version of libcurl can use wldap32.dll for LDAP
o added curl_easy_strerror(), curl_multi_strerror() and curl_share_strerror()
o IPv6-enabled Windows hosts now resolves names threaded/asynch as well
o configure --with-libidn can be used to point out the root dir of a libidn
installation (version 0.4.5 or later) for curl to use, then libcurl can
resolve and use IDNA names (domain names with "international" letters)
This release includes the following bugfixes:
o incoming cookies with domains set with a prefixed dot now works better
o CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE and CURLOPT_COOKIE can be used in the same request
o improved peer certificate name verification
o allocation failures cause no leaks nor crashes
o the progress meter display now handles file sizes up to full 8 exabytes
(which is as high a signed 64 bit number can reach)
o general HTTP authentication improvements
o HTTP Digest authentication with the proxy works
o mulipart formposting with -F and file names with spaces work again
o curl_easy_duphandle() now works when ares-enabled
o HTTP Digest authentication works a lot more like the RFC says
o curl works with telnet and stdin properly on Windows
o configure --without-ssl works even when pkg-config has OpenSSL details
o src/hugehelp.c builds correct again in non-configure build environments
Other curl-related news since the previous public release:
o The CVS repository was moved to cool.haxx.se
o AdacURL 7.11.2 was released: http://www.almroth.com/adacurl/
o PycURL 7.11.3 was released: http://pycurl.sourceforge.net
o A new German download mirror: http://www.mirrorspace.org/curl/
o Two new mailing lists are available:
curl-and-python - for python programmers using pycurl or curl
curl-perl-commmits - receives commits done to the curl-perl CVS module
This release would not have looked like this without help, code, reports and
advice from friends like these:
Gisle Vanem, Tommy Tam, Luca Altea, James Bursa, Mihai Ionescu, Michael
Benedict, Andrés García, Joe Halpin, Seshubabu Pasam, Peter Sylvester, Robert
D. Young, Jesse Noller, David Byron, Massimiliano Ziccardi, Mohun Biswas,
Renaud Duhaut
Thanks! (and sorry if I forgot to mention someone)
