the next release is now called 7.19.0
2008-06-08 21:04:46 +00:00
Curl and libcurl 7.19.0
working draft of the upcoming 7.10.8 release notes
2003-09-22 21:38:52 +00:00
start working on 7.18.3!
2008-06-04 16:05:48 +00:00
Public curl releases: 106
- curl the tool now deals with its command line options somewhat differently! All boolean options (such as -O, -I, -v etc), both short and long versions, now always switch on/enable the option named. Using the same option multiple times thus make no difference. To switch off one of those options, you need to use the long version of the option and type --no-OPTION. Like to disable verbose mode you use --no-verbose! - Added --remote-name-all to curl, which if used changes the default for all given URLs to be dealt with as if -O is used. So if you want to disable that for a specific URL after --remote-name-all has been used, you muse use -o - or --no-remote-name.
2008-06-08 20:53:49 +00:00
Command line options: 127
- Axel Tillequin and Arnaud Ebalard added support for CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT, for OpenSSL, NSS and GnuTLS-built libcurls.
2008-06-06 20:52:32 +00:00
curl_easy_setopt() options: 152
- Introducing curl_easy_send() and curl_easy_recv(). They can be used to send and receive data over a connection previously setup with curl_easy_perform() and its CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY option. The sendrecv.c example was added to show how they can be used.

Public functions in libcurl: 58
Public web site mirrors: 37
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.

Known libcurl bindings: 36
start working on 7.18.3!

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 09:53:21 +00:00
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.
2006-08-08 22:56:46 +00:00
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 11:32:05 +00:00
- Added CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP as a new information retrievable with curl_easy_getinfo. It returns a pointer to a string with the most recently used IP address. Modified test case 500 to also verify this feature. The implementing of this feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.
2008-06-06 17:33:35 +00:00
o Added CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP
- Axel Tillequin and Arnaud Ebalard added support for CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT, for OpenSSL, NSS and GnuTLS-built libcurls.
2008-06-06 20:52:32 +00:00
o Added CURLOPT_CRLFILE and CURLE_SSL_CRL_BADFILE
o Added CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT and CURLE_SSL_ISSUER_ERROR

HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection
2007-07-22 10:17:52 +00:00
This release includes the following bugfixes:
Fixed curl-config --ca which wasn't being exported by configure.
2008-06-13 00:03:12 +00:00
o Fixed curl-config --ca
- Rob Crittenden brought a fix for the NSS layer that makes libcurl no longer always fire up a new connection rather than using the existing one when the multi interface is used. Original bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450140
2008-06-18 22:01:55 +00:00
o Fixed the multi interface connection re-use with NSS-built libcurl
- Dengminwen found a bug in the connection re-use function when using the multi interface with pipelining enabled as it would wrongly check for, detect and close "dead connections" even though that connection was already in use!
2008-06-19 08:31:22 +00:00
o connection re-use when using the multi interface with pipelining enabled
- Christopher Palow fixed a curl_multi_socket() issue which previous caused libcurl to not tell the app properly when a socket was closed (when the name resolve done by c-ares is done) and then immediately re-created and put to use again (for the actual connection). Since the closure will make the "watch status" get lost in several event-based systems libcurl will need to tell the app about this close/re-create case.
2008-06-19 21:32:51 +00:00
o curl_multi_socket() socket callback fix for close/re-create sockets case
- Hans-Jurgen May pointed out that trying SCP or SFTP over a SOCKS proxy crashed libcurl. This is now addressed by making sure we use "plain send" internally when doing the socks handshake instead of the Curl_write() function which is designed to use the "target" protocol. That's then SCP or SFTP in this case. I also took the opportunity and cleaned up some ssh- related #ifdefs in the code for readability.
2008-06-20 10:43:32 +00:00
o SCP or SFTP over socks proxy crashed
- Phil Pellouchoud found a case where libcurl built with NSS failed to handshake with a SSLv2 server, and it turned out to be because it didn't recognize the cipher named "rc4-md5". In our list that cipher was named plainly "rc4". I've now added rc4-md5 to work as an alias as Phil reported that it made things work for him again.
2008-06-20 11:15:54 +00:00
o RC4-MD5 cipher now works with NSS-built libcurl
HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection

HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection

This release would not have looked like this without help, code, reports and
advice from friends like these:
- Rob Crittenden brought a fix for the NSS layer that makes libcurl no longer always fire up a new connection rather than using the existing one when the multi interface is used. Original bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450140
