Daniel (6 April 2004)
- lib/strerror.c no longer uses sys_nerr on non-windows platforms since it
isn't portable enough
Daniel (2 April 2004)
- In the curl_strnqual.3 man page, we now prepend the man3 dir to the file
name to work better. As pointed out by Robin Kay.
- Andrés García updated the mingw makefiles.
- Dirk Manske fixed a problem I recently added in the progress meter code that
broke subsecond resolution for CURLINFO_TOTAL_TIME. He also pointed out a
mistake in the code that produces the final update of the progress meter
that would often prevent it from actually being updated that final time.
Daniel (1 April 2004)
- Dirk Manske fixed a memory leak that happened when we use ares for name
resolves and decides to time-out before ares does it. This fix uses the
brand new ares_cancel() function which is not present in c-ares 1.1.0.
When told to enable ares, the configure script now checks for presence of
the ares_cancel function to alert users if they attempt to use a too old
c-ares library.
Daniel (31 March 2004)
- Roy Shan fixed a flaw that prevented ares name resolve timeouts to occur!
- Dirk Manske found out that libcurl timed out waiting for resolves far too
easy when libcurl was built to use (c-)ares for name resolving.
- Further Digest fixing and a successful test case 153 now makes me believe
Mitz Wark's problems are fixed.
- Andres Garcia figured out that test case 63, while working, only proved a
flaw in libcurl's 'http_proxy' parser when a user name and password is
provided. The user name was not extracted properly (and 'http' was always
used as user name).
- Andrés García fixed compiler warnings in our ioctlsocket() usage.
Daniel (30 March 2004)
- Joe Halpin faced problems with the getnameinfo() argument ai_flags and the
particular bit named 'NI_WITHSCOPEID' on Solaris 9 for Intel. I've now
written a configure test that checks for a working NI_WITHSCOPEID
implemenation. No code uses the result from this test yet, it is still
experimental. James Carlson wrote in comp.unix.solaris: "It's a bug
(5006623) -- it's not supported and shouldn't be in the header file."
- I provided Mitz Wark with a first patch in order to fix libcurl's problems
to re-negotiate Digest authentication (when 'stale=true' is included in the
response header).
- Roy Shan discovered that the multi interface didn't properly timeout name
lookups which could make handles get stuck in that state and thus never get
completed. I've produced a first test patch that attempts to correct this.
- David Byron's patch was appplied to make CURLOPT_FAILONERROR work nicely
even with authentcations such as NTLM or Digest enabled. Test cases 150, 151
and 152 were added to verify the functionality.

Daniel (29 March 2004)
- Gisle Vanem updated files for the djgpp/MS-DOS build.
- Andrés García helped me work out a fix for the runtests.pl script to make
the file:// tests run fine when tested with the mingw-built version of curl.
- Fixed an include issue with netinet/tcp.h on AIX, based on input by Tor.
This also required a minor fix of the configure script.
- The postit2.c source example used the wrong struct name for the post data.
Daniel (26 March 2004)
- Gisle Vanem improved ipv6 support on windows by making the curl build to use
the correct getaddrinfo() function.
Daniel (25 March 2004)
- It turned out that AIX, despite having a "thread-safe libc", doesn't offer
all traditional functions thread-safe. This URL is informative on this
subject:
http://publibn.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/aixprggd/ \
genprogc/thread_quick_ref.htm
As a result of this, we now check for three *_r() functions on recent AIX
versions as well that the URL mentions aren't thread-safe in AIX 5.1.
- renamed curl_strerror.[ch] to strerror.[ch]
- Joe Halpin added CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY and --tcp-nodelay to make it possible
for users to disable the Nagle algorthim-usage.
- Tor Arntsen provided some interesting strerror_r() knowledge. glibc has its
own API which differs from the POSIX one. Daniel adjusted the configure
script to detect the version in use, and the code now uses the new defines
accordingly.
- Fixed some build flaws with the new lib/curl_strerror.c source file.
Daniel (24 March 2004)
- Gisle Vanem's fix to replace the bad use of strerror(). This introduces
Curl_strerror() that attempts to be thread-safe _and_ works on Windows too!
- Tor Arntsen spell-fixed lots of libcurl man pages.
- Tor Arntsen made testcurl.pl work with older perl 5 versions, and Daniel
made it not use chdir .. to go back, as that isn't very good when you've
setup a testdir containing symlinks.
- Added a check for strerror_r() in the configure script.

Daniel (23 March 2004)
- Added Greg Hewgill's testcurl.pl script to CVS. We have not moved over to
use this script for the real distributed testing just yet, but it is only
a matter of time.
- Gisle Vanem provided code that makes curl report a better error message
if --interface fails on windows.

- The regular progress meter is now fixed to never wrap due to long lines. All
fields are now static sized. If the time in the time fields get a time value
that would represent a time that is 100 hours or more (if not, it remains
using a HH:MM:SS display), it switches first to a "NNNd NNh" display (for
days and hours) and if that isn't enough it switches to a "NNNd" display if
it is more than 999 days.
Several of the calculations were also moved to fixed-point math instead of
using doubles.

- Glen Nakamura noticed CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD didn't work as it
used to do if CURLOPT_NOBODY is set TRUE.
- Kevin Roth patched the cygwin package makefile and README to adjust to
new cygwin packaging guidelines.
- Enabled "NT responses" in the NTLM authentication. Doing this simply means
that we provide an extra chunk of data in each "type-3 message". The only
reason for doing this is that it seems that using only the "Lanmanager hash"
(as we've been doing until now) doesn't support passwords longer than 14
characters and it turns out there are users out there who want to use
libcurl and NTLM with such passwords! ;-) Seven NTLM-related test cases were
updated accordingly. Mentioned as issue 29 in TODO-RELEASE, bug report
#915609
- Moved the generated libcurl version info to a new header file, named
curl/curlver.h. Now interested parties can include ONLY version info, should
anyone want that (and it seems at least some windows resource files would).
Mentioned as issue 27 in TODO-RELEASE.
Daniel (21 March 2004)
- Fixed the root Makefile to use tabs for the netware target. Günter Knauf
pointed this out.
- Marty Kuhrt's VMS cleanup
- Thomas Schwinge made buildconf recognize ACLOCAL_FLAGS to invoke aclocal
with particular pre-determined options.
Daniel (18 March 2004)
- Tor Arntsen brought some info about SGI IRIX:
IRIX supports 3 different executable/object formats, -32, -n32 and -64.
-n32 is default 32-bit format, -32 is the "old" 32-bit format, and -64 is
the 64-bit format. Libraries for the different formats are in lib, lib32
and lib64 respectively.
We've now adjusted the configure script to adapt to this when scanning for
3rd party libs, such as OpenSSL.
- Watz pointed out a few missing files in the MSVC project description file.
- Günter Knauf brought patches, code and makefiles to build curl on Novell
NetWare.
- Lots of libcurl man pages were updated to contain references to other man
pages the recognized way so that they appear as nice hyperlinks in the HTML
versions.
- buildconf now checks the m4 version too, since autoconf requires a GNU m4
version to build proper configure scripts.
Daniel (12 March 2004)
- Added CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE, the large file version of
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE to allow POSTs larger than 2GB.
- David Byron fixed an uninitialized variable case/crash.
