Curl and libcurl 7.16.1
Public curl release number: 97
Releases counted from the very beginning: 124
Available command line options: 112
Available curl_easy_setopt() options: 133
Number of public functions in libcurl: 54
Amount of public web site mirrors: 39

Number of contributors: 524
This release includes the following changes:
o Support for SCP and SFTP were added
o CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY is now deprecated
This release includes the following bugfixes:
o proxy close during CONNECT authentication is now dealt with nicely
o the CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION was sometimes called even when CURLOPT_VERBOSE
was not enabled
o multiple TFTP transfers on the same (easy or multi) handle could cause a
crash
o SIGSEGV when disconnecting on a transfer on a re-used handle when the
host name didn't resolve
o stack overwrite on 64bit Windows in the chunked decoding department
o HTTP responses on persistent connections without Content-Length nor chunked
encoding are now considered to be without response body
o Content-Range: header parsing improved
o CPU 100% load when HTTP upload connection broke
o active FTP didn't work with multi interface
o curl_getdate() could be off one hour for TZ time zones with DST, on windows
o CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE works again
o CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS set to zero caused libcurl to SIGSEGV
o rate limiting works better
o getting FTP response code errors when using the multi-interface caused
libcurl to leak memory
o no more SIGPIPE when GnuTLS is used
o FTP downloading 2 zero byte files in a row
o using proxy and URLs without protocol prefixes
o first using a proxy and then accessing a site that 'no_proxy' matched,
would still make libcurl use the proxy...
o curl_easy_duphandle() now makes a handle that is valid for the multi
interface since the magic number is set fine
o libcurl.pc now uses Libs.private for "private" libs
o --limit-rate (CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE and CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE)
now work on windows again
o improved download performance by avoiding the unconditional "double copying"
Other curl-related news:
o TclCurl 7.16.0 was released:
http://personal1.iddeo.es/andresgarci/tclcurl/english/
o Curb - Libcurl bindings for Ruby: http://curb.rubyforge.org/
New curl mirrors:
o curl.miroir-francais.fr is a new French web mirror
o curl.dsmirror.nl is a new Dutch web mirror
This release would not have looked like this without help, code, reports and
advice from friends like these:
James Housley, Olaf Stueben, Yang Tse, Gisle Vanem, Bradford Bruce,
Ciprian Badescu, Dmitriy Sergeyev, Nir Soffer, Venkat Akella, Toon Verwaest,
