This release includes the following changes:
o asynch dns lookups now require the c-ares library
o curl --socks can be used to set a SOCKS5 proxy to use
o response-headers received after a (proxy) CONNECT request are now passed
to the header callback just like other headers
This release includes the following bugfixes:
o configure with mingw detects gethostbyname
o setting a Host: header is no longer affecting the Host: header used when
libcurl follows a Location:
o fixed numerous compiler warnings on several operating systems and compilers
o PUTing from stdin couldn't disable chunked transfer-encoding
o corrected the mingw makefiles
o improved the configure libz detection
o improved EPRT use when doing FTP on ipv6-enabled AIX hosts
o *nroff commands that only support -mandoc and not -man are now supported
(for the built-in manual text in the command line tool)
o fixed the unconditional #include of config.h in hugehelp.c
o builds fine on MPE/iX
o upload using chunked transfer-encoding now sends the last chunk properly
teriminated with an extra CRLF
o Fixed the progress meter display for files >2GB
o persistant connections over a proxy messed up the proxy name/password
o the socks5 code segfaulted if no username/password was set
o the *_LARGE options now take curl_off_t types as parameters and this will
make it possible to handle large files on windows too
o builds with large file support even on systems without strtoll()
