Daniel (8 June 2004)
- Marty Kuhrt fixed a minor build problem for VMS.

Daniel (7 June 2004)
- Reverted the configure check from the 4th since it obviously didn't work.
  Remade it in a different manner that hopefully works better.

- Made the configure checks for strerror_r() not exit the configure script
  when built for cross-compiling.

Daniel (3 June 2004)
- Chris Gaukroger pointed out that 'make test' attempts to run the tests even
  if curl is built cross-compiled. I've now made it output a short message
  instead, saying it isn't possible to do.
  
- Alexander Krasnostavsky brought FTP 3rd party transfer support to libcurl.
  You can now use libcurl to transfer files between two remote hosts using
  FTP. There are a bunch of new options to control this with:
   CURLOPT_SOURCE_HOST
   CURLOPT_SOURCE_USERPWD
   CURLOPT_SOURCE_PATH
   CURLOPT_SOURCE_PORT
   CURLOPT_PASV_HOST
   CURLOPT_SOURCE_PREQUOTE
   CURLOPT_SOURCE_POSTQUOTE

  (They still remain to be documented properly in the curl_easy_setopt man
  page.)

  When using this, the ordinary CURLOPT_URL specifies the target URL, and you
  specify the source data with these additional options. ftp3rdparty.c is a
  new example source code showing how to use this.

- Vincent Bronner fixed the HTTP Digest code to use the proxy user name and
  password when doing proxy authentication, it previously always used the host
  user name and password!

Daniel (2 June 2004)
- CURLOPT_UPLOAD and CURLOPT_PUT now do the exact same thing internally, which
  fixes some old confusions on when which of these should be used and what the
  differences are.

- Applied Gisle's fixes to make curl build fine with lcc-win32

Version 7.12.0 (2 June 2004)

Daniel (1 June 2004)
- I clarified the --create-dirs option somewhat in the curl man page.

- Renaud Duhaut corrected the curl_unescape man page.

- David Byron modified one of Massimiliano Ziccardi's recent MSVC makefile
  changes to now again use the mm lib by default.

- Mohun Biswas added release-zlib and debug-zlib targets to the MSVC libcurl
  Makefile

- David Byron reported a problem with proxy authentication when doing CONNECT,
  like when accessing HTTPS sites wiht a proxy. This probably broke when I
  rewrote the auth stuff recently.

- I added fileupload.c in the examples directory, showing how an upload to a
  file:// URL is made.

Daniel (25 May 2004)
- Massimiliano Ziccardi updated the MSVC makefiles.

Daniel Stenberg committed
- libcurl now supports "uploading" to file:// URLs. Test 204 and 205 were
  added to verify.
- Simon Josefsson added a idn_free() function in libidn 0.4.5 as a reaction to
  Gisle's previous mail. We now use this function, and thus we require libidn
  0.4.5 or later. No earlier version will do.
- Robert D. Young reported that CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE and CURLOPT_COOKIE could
  not be used both in one request. Fixed it and added test case 172 to verify.

Daniel (21 May 2004)
- While talking to host a.b.c, libcurl did wrongly not accept cookies that
  were set to the domain .a.b.c (that is with a dot prefix). This is now fixed
  and test case 171 verifies it.

Daniel (20 May 2004)
- Jesse Noller reported that the upload speed info reported by libcurl was
  wrong. The same was true for the download speed. Fixed now.

Daniel (19 May 2004)
- David Byron added test case 170 - this used to crash the previous version of 
  curl.

- Peter Sylvester's patch that addresses two flaws in the peer certificate
  name verification:
  o when multiple common names are used (as in the curl tests), the last name
    needs to be selected.
  o allow comparing with encoded values, at least with BMP and ISO latin1
    encoded T61strings.

- All 191 test cases run through the torture test OK! 'make test-torture' is
  now available in the root makefile (on configure-based environments).

Daniel (14 May 2004)
- With a slightly modified ftpserver.pl I've now run almost all tests through
  with runtests.pl -t. This is goodness!

- Since I have been unable to contact the CVS admins for several months, I've
  decided that the current CVS hosting was not good enough. I've now moved the
  CVS repo once again, see README for updated cvs checkout instructions.

Daniel (13 May 2004)
- runtests.pl -t now runs fine all the way to test 100. I believe test case
  100 fails because of an FTP server problem.

Daniel (12 May 2004)
- General cleanups all over to make libcurl survive and do well when a memory
  function returns NULL. runtests.pl -t now works fine for the first 26 test
  cases.

Daniel (11 May 2004)
- Seshubabu Pasam provided a patch that introduces curl_global_init_mem() -
  like normal curl_global_init() but allows the app to replace all memory
  functions with its own set. I modified it slightly.

- Based on Luca Alteas' comments, I modified the curllib.dsp generation code.

Daniel (10 May 2004)
- Gisle mailed Simon Josefsson (of libidn fame) about the benefits of a
  separate free()-function by that lib to make sure the memory is freed by the
  same memory subsystem that allocated it. He responded positively and this
  will likely cause us to require a newer version of libidn as soon as Simon
  releases one with such a libidn_free() function.

- James Bursa made runtests.pl's -t option work for any given test case, and I
  edited to allow -g too. Not even test case 1 worked...

- Luca Altea made the nc= field not use quotes in outgoing HTTP Digest headers.

- Andrés García fixed a problem in the test script that made it fail to
  recognize our own running HTTP server.

- James Bursa fixed the memanalyze.pl script to conder malloc(0) areas OK to
  free() and he made two failed-resolve error messages use the new display-
  name instead of the internally-used name.

- Gisle Vanem tried curl with
  www.etdomenenavnkanmaksimaltinneholdesekstitrebokstaversliksomdette.com
  which caused problems, and I fixed the single zero byte buffer overwrite
  that occurred (due to a stupid protocol buffer size and parser).
- Made the lib/curllib.dsp file get generated automaticly when a distribution
  package is made, with the msvcproj.* files as templates and all
  win32-sources added. I think this can be made to work better than the always
  lagging-behind previous approach. I'm not sure this builds a working project
  file right now though!

Daniel (6 May 2004)
- Michael Benedict brought a fix that fills in the errorbuffer properly when
  ares fails to resolve a name for a case not previously dealt with like this.

Daniel (5 May 2004)
- Joe Halpin fixed the annoying typecast warning in lib/ldap.c

- Gisle Vanem fixes:
  o memdebug to not access NULL on several places
  o libcurl.def; curl_formparse is gone.
  o progress.c; fixed the percent values being trunced to 0.
  o if2ip.*; constified the 'interface' argument.

- Tor Arntsen reported that many of his autobuilds froze and I found and fixed
  a problem introduced with the HTTP auth overhaul that could lead to a
  never-ending internal request-loop due to un-initialized variables!

- Removed several compiler warnings on various compilers/platforms.

Daniel (4 May 2004)
- curl_formparse() has been removed from the library. It has been marked and
  mentioned as deprecated for several years.

Daniel (3 May 2004)
- Rewritten HTTP authentication code. The previous code could not properly
  deal with the added test cases 167, 168 and 169. I've now rewritten the code
  to better separate host and proxy authentication and not re-use the same
  variables as much as before as it proved non working in the more involved
  cases. All the current tests run OK now, and so do the new ones. The curl
  tool got a new option named --proxy-digest to enable HTTP Digest
  authentication with the proxy. I also made the library support it.
