                                  Changelog

Daniel (18 January 2005)
- Cody Jones' enhanced version of Samuel Díaz García's MSVC makefile patch was
  applied.

Daniel (16 January 2005)
- Alex aka WindEagle pointed out that when doing "curl -v dictionary.com", curl
  assumed this used the DICT protocol. While guessing protocols will remain
  fuzzy, I've now made sure that the host names must start with "[protocol]."
  for them to be a valid guessable name. I also removed "https" as a prefix
  that indicates HTTPS, since we hardly ever see any host names using that.

Daniel (13 January 2005)
- Inspired by Martijn Koster's patch and example source at
  http://www.greenhills.co.uk/mak/gentoo/curl-eintr-bug.c, I now made the
  select() and poll() calls properly loop if they return -1 and errno is
  EINTR. glibc docs for this is found here:
  http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Interrupted-Primitives.html

  This last link says BSD doesn't have this "effect". Will there be a problem
  if we do this unconditionally?

- Dan Torop cleaned up a few no longer used variables from David Phillips'
  select() overhaul fix.

- Cyrill Osterwalder posted a detailed analysis about a bug that occurs when
  using a custom Host: header and curl fails to send a request on a re-used
  persistent connection and thus creates a new connection and resends it. It
  then sent two Host: headers. Cyrill's analysis was posted here:
  http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2005-01/0022.html

- Bruce Mitchener identified (bug report #1099640) the never-ending SOCKS5
  problem with the version byte and the check for bad versions. Bruce has lots
  of clues on this, and based on his suggestion I've now removed the check of
  that byte since it seems to be able to contain 1 or 5.

- Pavel Orehov reported memory problems with the multi interface in bug report
  #1098843. In short, a shared DNS cache was setup for a multi handle and when
  the shared cache was deleted before the individual easy handles, the latter
  cleanups caused read/writes to already freed memory.

- Hzhijun reported a memory leak in the SSL certificate code, that leaked the
  remote certificate name when it didn't match the used host name.

Gisle (8 January 2005)
- Added Makefile.Watcom files (src/lib). Updated Makefile.dist.

Daniel (7 January 2005)
- Improved the test script's valgrind log parser to actually work! Also added
  the ability to disable the log scanner for specific test cases. Test case
  509 results in numerous problems and leaks in OpenSSL and has to get it
  disabled.

Daniel (6 January 2005)
- Fixed a single-byte read out of bounds in test case 39 in the curl tool code
  (i.e not in the library).

- Bug report #1097019 identified a problem when doing -d "data" with -G and
  sending it to two URLs with {}. Added test 199 to verify the fix.

Daniel (4 January 2005)
- Marty Kuhrt adjusted a VMS build script slightly

- Kai Sommerfeld and Gisle Vanem fixed libcurl to build with IPv6 support on
  Win2000.

Daniel (2 January 2005)
- Alex Neblett updated the MSVC makefiles slightly.

Daniel (25 December 2004)
- Removed src/config.h.in from CVS, it is now copied from the (generated)
  lib/config.h.in instead, as they can very well be the same. This removes a
  "manual hassle". You may want to re-run buildconf now.

- Werner Koch filed Debian bug report #286794, mentioning that curl contained
  non-free (by Debian's view) source code. This was Angus Mackay's
  src/getpass.c source code. I tried to contact him about it to quickly solve
  this issue, but his email addresses bounce and I got some time "over" and
  reimplemented the functionality once brought by Angus. We no longer use any
  of Angus' original code and the new function is much simpler (IMO). Issue
  solved.

Daniel (24 December 2004)
- David Shaw added --protocols to curl-config, so that it now lists all
  protocols libcurl was built to support. --feature no longer lists disabled
  protocols.

Daniel (23 December 2004)
- David Shaw fixed the configure --disable-[protocol] variables so that
  curl-config --feature now works correctly!

- Rune Kleveland fixed a minor memory leak for received cookies with the
  (rare) version attribute set.

- Marcin Konicki provided two configure fixes and a source fix to make curl
  build out-of-the-box on BeOS.

Daniel (21 December 2004)
- Added test case 217 that verified CURLINFO_HTTP_CONNECTCODE, and I made the
  -w option support 'http_connect' to make it easier to verify!

- Fixed lib/select.c include order to build fine on FreeBSD

- Fixed failf()'s reuse of the va_list variable that crashed on FreeBSD.
  Pointed out by Peter Pentchev.

Version 7.12.3 (20 December 2004)

Daniel (19 December 2004)
- I investigated our PKCS12 build problem on Solaris 2.7 with OpenSSL 0.9.7e,
  and it turned out to be the fault of the zlib 1.1.4 headers doing a typedef
  named 'free_func' and the OpenSSL headers have a prototype that uses
  'free_func' in one of its arguments. This is why the compile errors out.

  In other words, we need to include the openssl/pkcs12.h header before the
  zlib.h header and it builds fine. The configure script now checks for this
  file and it then gets included early in lib/urldata.h.

Daniel (18 December 2004)
- Samuel Listopad added support for PKCS12 formatted certificates.

- Samuel Listopad fixed -E to support "C:/path" (with forward slash) as well.

- Gisle found and fixed a problem in the directory re-use for FTP.

  I added test case 215 and 216 to better verify the functionality.

- Dinar in bug report #1086121, found a file handle leak when a multipart
  formpost (including a file upload part) was aborted before the whole file
  was sent.

Daniel (15 December 2004)
- Tom Lee found out that globbing of strings with backslashes didn't work as
  you'd expect. Backslashes are such a central part of windows file names that
  forcing backslashes to have to be escaped with backslashes is a bit too
  awkward to users. Starting now, you only need to escape globbing characters
  such as the five letters: "[]{},". Added test case 214 to verify this.

Daniel (14 December 2004)
- Harshal Pradhan patched a HTTP persistent connection flaw: if the user name
  and/or password were modified between two requests on a persistent
  connection, the second request were still made with the first setup!

  I added test case 519 to verify the fix.

Daniel (13 December 2004)
- Gisle added CURLINFO_SSL_ENGINES to curl_easy_getinfo() to allow an app
  to list all available crypto ENGINES.

- Gisle fixed bug report #1083542, which pointed out a problem with resuming
  large file (>4GB) file:// transfers on windows.

Daniel (11 December 2004)
- Made the test suite HTTP server (sws) capable of using IPv6, and then
  extended the test environment to support that and also added three test
  cases (240, 241, 242) that run tests using IPv6. Test 242 uses a URL that
  didn't work before the 10 dec fix by Kai Sommerfeld.

- Made a failed file:// resume output an error message

- Corrected the CURLE_BAD_DOWNLOAD_RESUME error message in lib/strerror.c

- Dan Fandrich:

  simplified and consolidated the SSL checks in configure and the usage of the
  defines in lib/setup.h

  provided a first libcurl.pc.in file for pkg-config (but the result is not
  installed anywhere at this point)

  extended the cross compile section in the docs/INSTALL file

Daniel (10 December 2004)
- When providing user name in the URL and a IPv6-style IP-address (like in
  "ftp://user@[::1]/tmp"), the URL parser didn't get the host extracted
  properly.  Reported and fixed by Kai Sommerfeld.

- Ton Voon provided a configure fix that should fix the notorious (mostly
  reported on Solaris) problem where the size_t check fails due to the SSL
  libs being found in a dir not searched through by the run-time linker.
  patch-tracker entry #1081707.

- Bryan Henderson pointed out in bug report #1081788 that the curl-config
  --vernum output wasn't zero prefixed properly (as claimed in documentation).
  This is fixed in maketgz now.
