  • - Setting CURLOPT_COOKIELIST to "ALL" when no cookies at all was present,
      libcurl would crash when trying to read a NULL pointer.
    
    Daniel (12 January 2007)
    - Toby Peterson found a nasty bug that prevented (lib)curl from properly
      downloading (most) things that were larger than 4GB on 32 bit systems.  Matt
      Witherspoon helped as narrow down the problem.

    - Linus Nielsen Feltzing introduced the --ftp-ssl-ccc command line option to
      curl that uses the new CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC option in libcurl. If enabled, it
      will make libcurl shutdown SSL/TLS after the authentication is done on a
      FTP-SSL operation.

    - David McCreedy made changes to allow base64 encoding/decoding to work on
      non-ASCII platforms.

    - Matt Witherspoon fixed the flaw which made libcurl 7.16.0 always store
      downloaded data in two buffers, just to be able to deal with a special HTTP
      pipelining case. That is now only activated for pipelined transfers. In
      Matt's case, it showed as a considerable performance difference,
    
    
    - Victor Snezhko helped us fix bug report #1603712
      (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1603712) (known bug #36) --limit-rate
      (CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE and CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE) are broken
      on Windows (since 7.16.0, but that's when they were introduced as previous
      to that the limiting logic was made in the application only and not in the
      library). It was actually also broken on select()-based systems (as apposed
      to poll()) but we haven't had any such reports. We now use select(), Sleep()
      or delay() properly to sleep a while without waiting for anything input or
      output when the rate limiting is activated with the easy interface.
    
    
    - Modified libcurl.pc.in to use Libs.private for the libs libcurl itself needs
      to get built static. It has been mentioned before and was again brought to
      our attention by Nathanael Nerode who filed debian bug report #405226
      (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=405226).
