Curl and libcurl 7.17.2
working draft of the upcoming 7.10.8 release notes
2003-09-22 23:38:52 +02:00
contributor re-count (we'll break the 600 limit very very soon now) and I made all the numericals at the top phrased "shorter" and I cut out the "number of releases since the very beginning" since that's just the number curl releases + 26 and not a very interesting number anyway.
2007-10-31 10:21:31 +01:00
Public curl releases: 103
Introuced --data-urlencode to the curl tool for easier url encoding of the data sent in a post.
2007-11-20 11:08:42 +01:00
Command line options: 122
Michal Marek introduced CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE which is used to control the appending of the "type=" thing on FTP URLs when they are passed to a HTTP proxy. Some proxies just don't like that appending (which is done unconditionally in 7.17.1), and some proxies treat binary/ascii transfers better with the appending done!
2007-12-03 00:38:23 +01:00
curl_easy_setopt() options: 148

Public functions in libcurl: 55
Ates Goral identified a problem in http.c:add_buffer_send() when a debug callback was used, as it could wrongly pass on a bad size for the outgoing HTTP header. The bad size would be a very large value as it was a wrapped size_t content. This happened when the whole HTTP request failed to get sent in one single send. http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-11/0165.html

David Hull made the file: URL parser also accept the somewhat sloppy file syntax: file:/path. I added test case 203 to verify this.
2003-10-29 10:53:21 +01:00
Armel Asselin made the CURLOPT_PREQUOTE option work fine even when CURLOPT_NOBODY is set true. PREQUOTE is then run roughly at the same place in the command sequence as it would have run if there would've been a transfer.
2006-08-09 00:56:46 +02:00
This release includes the following changes:
Armel Asselin separated CA cert verification problems from problems with reading the (local) CA cert file to let users easier pinpoint the actual problem. CURLE_SSL_CACERT_BADFILE (77) is the new libcurl error code.
2006-10-21 13:32:05 +02:00
Introuced --data-urlencode to the curl tool for easier url encoding of the data sent in a post.
2007-11-20 11:08:42 +01:00

HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection
2007-07-22 12:17:52 +02:00
This release includes the following bugfixes:
curl-config --features and --protocols show the correct output when built with NSS
2007-10-29 23:13:09 +01:00
o curl-config --features and --protocols show the correct output when built
Fixed curl-config --features to not display libz when it wasn't used due to a missing header file.
2007-11-01 19:55:00 +01:00
with NSS, and also when SCP, SFTP and libz are not available
Toby Peterson patched a memory problem in the command line tool that happened when a user had a home dir as an empty string. curl would then do free() on a wrong area.
2007-11-01 22:49:59 +01:00
o free problem in the curl tool for users with empty home dir
Bug report #1824894 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1824894) pointed out a problem in curl.h when building C++ apps with MSVC. To fix it, the inclusion of header files in curl.h is moved outside of the C++ extern "C" linkage block.
2007-11-06 18:18:27 +01:00
o curl.h version 7.17.1 problem when building C++ apps with MSVC
Bug report #1823487 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1823487) pointed out that SFTP requests didn't use persistent connections. Neither did SCP ones. I gave the SSH code a good beating and now both SCP and SFTP should use persistent connections fine. I also did a bunch for indent changes as well as a bug fix for the "keyboard interactive" auth.
2007-11-08 11:22:49 +01:00
o SFTP and SCP use persistent connections
Bug report #1830637 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1830637), which was forwarded from the Gentoo bug tracker by Daniel Black and was originally submitted by Robin Johnson, pointed out that libcurl would do bad memory references when it failed and bailed out before the handler thing was setup. My fix is not done like the provided patch does it, but instead I make sure that there's never any chance for a NULL pointer in that struct member.
2007-11-12 22:38:43 +01:00
o segfault on bad URL
Fix a variable potential wrapping in add_buffer() when using absolutely huge send buffer sizes
2007-11-14 01:48:11 +01:00

Rob Crittenden fixed SSL connections with NSS done with the multi-interface
2007-11-18 10:45:05 +01:00
o SSL connections with NSS done with the multi-interface
While inspecting the Negotiate code, I noticed how the proxy auth was using the same state struct as the host auth, so both could never be used at the same time! I fixed it (without being able to check) to use two separate structs to allow authentication using Negotiate on host and proxy simultanouesly.
2007-11-21 00:17:08 +01:00
o setting a share no longer activates cookies
o Negotiate now works on auth and proxy simultanouesly
Provide a socklen_t definition in curl.h for Win32 API build targets which don't have one.
2007-11-22 17:35:07 +01:00
o curl.h now includes a socklen_t definition for Win32 API build targets
ftp resumed upload and long Digest nonces
2007-11-29 23:15:22 +01:00
o support HTTP Digest nonces up to 1023 letters
o resumed ftp upload no longer requires the read callback to return full
buffers
mention "no longer default-appends ;type= on FTP URLs thru proxies" as a bug fix even if kind of implied by the new option
2007-12-03 12:41:36 +01:00

advice from friends like these:
