Daniel S (8 Dec 2007)
- Renamed all internal static functions that had Curl_ prefixes to no longer
  have them. The Curl_ prefix is exclusively used for library internal global
  symbols. Static functions can be named anything, except for using Curl_ or
  curl_ prefixes. This is for consistency and for easier maintainance and
  overview.

- Cleaned up and reformatted the TODO document to look like the FAQ and
  CONTRIBUTE, which makes nicer web pages

- Added test cases 549 and 550 that test CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE.

- Added keywords on a bunch of test cases

- Fixed an OOM problem in the curl code that would lead to fclose on a bad
  handle and crash

Daniel S (5 Dec 2007)
- Spacen Jasset reported a problem with doing POST (with data read with a
  callback) over a proxy when NTLM is used as auth with the proxy. The bug
  also concerned Digest and was limited to using callback only. Spacen worked
  with us to provide a useful patch. I added the test case 547 and 548 to
  verify two variations of POST over proxy with NTLM.

Daniel S (3 Dec 2007)
- Ray Pekowski filed bug report #1842029
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1842029) in which he identified a
  problem with SSL session caching that prevent it from working, and provided
  the associated fix!

- Now libcurl (built with OpenSSL) doesn't return error anymore if the remote
  SSL-based server doesn't present a certificate when the request is told to
  ignore certificate verification anyway.

- 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!

Daniel S (29 Nov 2007)
- A bug report on the curl-library list showed a HTTP Digest session going on
  with a 700+ letter nonce. Previously libcurl only support 127 letter ones
  and now I bumped it to 1023.

- Fixed the resumed FTP upload loop to not require that the read callback
  returns a full buffer on each invoke.

Daniel S (25 Nov 2007)
- Added test case 1015 that tests --data-urlencode in multiple ways

- Fixed --data-urlencode for when no @ or = are used

- Extended the user-agent buffer curl uses, since we can hit the 128 byte
  border with plenty development libraries used. Like my current set: "curl
  7.17.2-CVS (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.17.2-CVS OpenSSL/0.9.8g
  zlib/1.2.3.3 c-ares/1.5.2-CVS libidn/1.1 libssh2/0.19.0-CVS"

Daniel S (24 Nov 2007)
- Internal rearrangements, so that the previous struct HandleData is no more.
  It is now known as SingleRequest and the Curl_transfer_keeper struct within
  that was remove entirely. This has the upside that there are less duplicate
  struct members that made it hard to see and remember what struct that was
  used to store what data. The transfer_keeper thing was once stored on a
  per-connection basis and then it made sense to have the duplicate info but
  since it was moved to the SessionHandle (in 7.16.0) it just added weirdness.
  The SingleRequest struct is used by data that only is valid for this single
  request.

Yang Tse (22 Nov 2007)
- Provide a socklen_t definition in curl.h for Win32 API build targets
  which don't have one.

Daniel S (22 Nov 2007)
- Alessandro Vesely helped me improve the --data-urlencode's syntax, parser
  and documentation.

Daniel S (21 Nov 2007)
- 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
  simultaneously.

Daniel S (20 Nov 2007)
- Emil Romanus pointed out a bug that made an easy handle get the cookie
  engine activated when set to use a share (even if the share doesn't share
  cookies). I fixed it.

- Fixed a very long-lasting mprintf() bug that occurred when we did "%.*s%s",
  since the second %s would then wrongly used the numerical precision argument
  instead and crash.

- Introduced --data-urlencode to the curl tool for easier url encoding of the
  data sent in a post.

Daniel S (18 Nov 2007)
- Rob Crittenden fixed SSL connections with NSS done with the multi-interface

Daniel S (17 Nov 2007)
- Michal Marek made the test suite remember what test servers that fail to
  start so that subsequent tries are simply skipped.

- Andres Garcia made the examples build fine on Windows (mingw + msys) when
  the lib was built staticly.

Daniel S (16 Nov 2007)
- 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

Daniel S (15 Nov 2007)
- Fixed yet another remaining problem with doing SFTP directory listings on a
  re-used persistent connection. Mentioned by Immanuel Gregoire on the mailing
  list.

- Michal Marek fixed the test suite to better deal with the case when the HTTP
  ipv6 server can't run.

Yang Tse (14 Nov 2007)
- Fix a variable potential wrapping in add_buffer() when using absolutely
  huge send buffer sizes.

Daniel S (13 Nov 2007)
- Fixed a remaining problem with doing SFTP directory listings on a re-used
  persistent connection. Mentioned by Immanuel Gregoire on the mailing list.

Daniel S (12 Nov 2007)
- 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.

Daniel S (8 Nov 2007)
- 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 of indent changes as
  well as a bug fix for the "keyboard interactive" auth.

Dan F (6 Nov 2007)
- Improved telnet support by drastically reducing the number of write
  callbacks needed to pass a buffer to the user.  Instead one per byte it
  is now as little as one per segment.

Yang Tse (6 Nov 2007)
- 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.

Daniel S (1 Nov 2007)
- 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.

Dan F (1 Nov 2007)
- Fixed curl-config --features to not display libz when it wasn't used
  due to a missing header file.

Dan F (31 October 2007)
- Fixed the output of curl-config --protocols which showed SCP and SFTP
  always, except when --without-libssh2 was given

- Added test cases 1013 and 1014 to check that curl-config --protocols and
  curl-config --features matches the output of curl --version

Dan F (30 October 2007)
- Fixed an OOM problem with file: URLs

- Moved Curl_file_connect into the protocol handler struct

Dan F (29 October 2007)
- Added test case 546 to check that subsequent FTP transfers work after a
  failed one using the multi interface

Daniel S (29 October 2007)
- Based on one of those bug reports that are intercepted by a distro's bug
  tracker (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=316191), I now made
  curl-config --features and --protocols show the correct output when built
  with NSS.

Version 7.17.1 (29 October 2007)

Dan F (25 October 2007)
- Added the --static-libs option to curl-config
