Daniel (11 Sep 2002)
- Lukasz Czekierda found out that curl didn't send a correct HTTP Host: header
  when you specified the URL with an IPv6 IP-address.

Daniel (4 Sep 2002)
- Sven Neuhaus made --silent being acknowledged even when multiple URLs
  were used. It used to output "[1/2]: http://host/a.html.de --> a.html.d" etc
  even when told to shut up.

Daniel (3 Sep 2002)
- Updated all source code headers to use MIT-license references only, and
  point to the COPYING file and the http://curl.haxx.se/docs/copyright.html
  URL. I've cut out all references to MPL that I could find.

- Corected the makefiles to not always use -lz when linking

Version 7.10-pre2

Daniel (2 Sep 2002)
- James Gallagher added Content-Encoding support to libcurl so now curl and
  libcurl-using apps can request compressed contents using the 'deflate'
  method. See the special file lib/README.encoding for details.

  curl --compressed is now used to request compressed contents.

  curl-config --feature will include 'libz' if this feature was around when
  the library was built.

Daniel (30 Aug 2002)
- Applied an anonymous SOCKS5-proxy patch. Not properly working in all
  situations though, as all getaddrinfo()-using libcurls will fail on this.

  This is because of the somewhat naive way the current code tries to extract
  the IP address of the proxy.

- Fixed up the SSL cert fixes from the other day even more after more inputs

  from Cris. Added three new SSL error codes to make the
  CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR slightly less overloaded.

Daniel (27 Aug 2002)
- After lots of talk with Tom Zerucha, Nick Gimbrone and Cris Bailiff I
  decided to talk the bold path and I now made libcurl do CA certificate
  verification by default. Thus library users need to explicitly turn this off
  if you want to connect to sites without proper checking. We also install a
  CA cert bundle on 'make install' now.

  The curl tool now requires the -k/--insecure option in order to allow

  curl-config --ca displays the built-in path to the CA cert bundle.

Daniel (26 Aug 2002)
- Andrew Francis cleaned up some code that now compiles fine without the need
  for ugly MSVC pragmas.

- Keith MacDonald found a minor bug in src/main.c that made it close stdin
  instead of the actual file handle. It shouldn't have resulted in much
  trouble as most operating systems close all file handles on process exit
  anyway.

Daniel (22 Aug 2002)
- Markus Oberhumer provided some documentation for his previously provided
  CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL fix.

- Patched the lib/Makefile.am to hopefully no longer complain on undefined
  symbols that seemed to occur on builds with shared OpenSSL libraries on
  Solaris lately...

Daniel (20 Aug 2002)
- Fixed compiler warnings on MSCV++ compiles. We're looking for help here:
  remove the pragmas from lib/config-win32.h and adjust the sources where
  the warnings occur. Hiding them with pragmas like this is not the correct
  way of dealing with compiler warnings.

Daniel (13 Aug 2002)
- Ulrich Zadow made the global include files in curl/* include themselves
  using "curl.h" instead of <curl/curl.h> which thus allows people to more
  freely decide how to include curl and how to setup their include paths.

- Sterling Hughes added the curl_share* interface, somewhat as discussed
Daniel Stenberg's avatar

  previously.

- Jörn Hartroth pointed out that poll() was used in the pre1 source code and
  it isn't very portable, so now I check for it in the configure script and
  work around it.

Version 7.9.9-pre1

Daniel (12 Aug 2002)
- Applied my initial take on making the multi stuff more asynchronous. Connects
  should now return back without "hanging" until it has connected for real.
  This should also be the case for FTP-PASV connects.

Daniel (9 Aug 2002)
- Applied Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer's patch that introduces CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL,
  which effectively prevents libcurl from doing anything that may cause
  signals to get sent. This is basicly for multi-threaded applications that
  now can use timeouts properly, without risking any signals to burst in and
  ruin the party.
  
Daniel (5 Aug 2002)
- Lukasz Czekierda reported that RFC2732-style literal IPv6 addresses didn't
  work. When did that code vanish? Anyway, it's back again now and seems to
  work!

- Jonatan Lander found out that POSTing an empty string didn't work with the
  command line tool.

Daniel (3 Aug 2002)
- Jörn Hartroth fixed the libcurl.def file to build the windows DLL with
  the multi interface enabled.

Daniel (1 Aug 2002)
- The ftp PORT command now uses a better default IP address, as it will
  extract and use the local IP address used by the control connection.

- Modified the #include lines in curl/multi.h to work better on more
  platforms.

Daniel (31 Jul 2002)
- Attempted a fix for Ray DeGennaro's reported HP-UX host name resolve
  problems.

Daniel (30 Jul 2002)
- Priya Ramakrishnan and Ryan Jones compiles curl/curl.h with a C++ compiler
  and don't get __STDC__ defined, which required us to extend the preprocessor
  check for the ## operator usage.

- Correct the description for CURLOPT_PASSWDFUNCTION, if set to NULL the
  internal default function will be put back.

- danfuzz at milk.com found out that libcurl badly assumed a space after
  'Set-Cookie:' so if it wasn't present, it caused the first letter of the
  cookie name to fall off!

Daniel (29 Jul 2002)
- The password prompt asking for user password used stdout and now uses
  stderr instead to better allow redirecting. It also leaked a fopen() file
  handle that is now fixed.

Daniel (28 Jul 2002)
- HAVE_SETVBUF was left out from src/main.c which made -N not work. Found out
  by M T.

- Glen Nakamura solved a crash in the name resolving function for IP-only
  addresses on Alpha Linux (at least).

- T. Bharath corrected the high resolution timer introduced in 7.9.8.

Daniel (22 Jun 2002)
- Andrés García pointed out man page errors in curl_formadd.3. I fixed.

Daniel (19 Jun 2002)
- Chris Combes pointed out a flaw in curl_escape(). I fixed. We no longer
  tries to generate nor parse '+' in URLs. Spaces become %20, and only %-codes
  are translated by curl_unescape().

Daniel (15 Jun 2002)
- Added --limit-rate to the curl tool. Allows the user to set a maxmimum
  upper limit to how much bandwidth to use for transfers.

- CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE was added to libcurl. This sets a prefered size for the
  receive buffer in libcurl. The main point of this would be that the write
  callback gets called more often and with smaller chunks.

Daniel (14 Jun 2002)
- Yarram Sunil found out that the SocketIsDead() function performed a lot
  faster on Windows when removing the 1 microsecond timeout.

- Hanno L. Kranzhoff fixed the VC++ project files.

- Tom Mattison found out that ftp transfers closed the connection a little
  too often.

- Miklos Nemeth posted a VC++ makefile fix and some INSTALL comments on how
  to disable specific protocols when building for Windows.

Version 7.9.8

Daniel (13 Jun 2002)
- Time to let this baby go.

- Chris Combes added three new options for curl_formadd(): CURLFORM_BUFFER,
  CURLFORM_BUFFERPTR, CURLFORM_BUFFERLENGTH.  They are used to create a
  multipart that appears as a regular file upload, but the data is provided
  with a pointer and length.
  
- Nico Baggus made the VMS version use sigsetjmp() too.

- Jörn Hartroth fixed the mingw32 build using the mm lib.
