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
  simultanouesly.

- 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 occured when we did "%.*s%s",
  since the second %s would then wrongly used the numerical precision argument
  instead and crash.

- Introuced --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

Daniel S (25 October 2007)
- Made libcurl built with NSS possible to ignore the peer verification.
  Previously it would fail if the ca bundle wasn't present, even if the code
  ignored the verification results.

Patrick M (25 October 2007)
- Fixed test server to allow null bytes in binary posts.
_ Added tests 35, 544 & 545 to check binary data posts, both static (in place)
  and dynamic (copied).

- Michal Marek fixed the test script to be able to use valgrind even when the
  lib is built shared with libtool.

- Fixed a few memory leaks when the same easy handle is re-used to request
  URLs with different protocols. FTP and TFTP related leaks. Caught thanks to
  Dan F's new test cases.

- Fixed the test FTP and TFTP servers to support the >10000 test number
  notation
- Added test cases 2000 through 2003 which test multiple protocols using the
  same easy handle

- Fixed the filecheck: make target to work outside the source tree

Daniel S (24 October 2007)
- Vladimir Lazarenko pointed out that we should do some 'mt' magic when
  building with VC8 to get the "manifest" embedded to make fine stand-alone
  binaries. The maketgz and the src/Makefile.vc6 files were adjusted
  accordingly.

Daniel S (23 October 2007)
- Bug report #1812190 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1812190) points out
  that libcurl tried to re-use connections a bit too much when using non-SSL
  protocols tunneled over a HTTP proxy.

- Michal Marek forwarded the bug report
  https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=332917 about a HTTP redirect to
  FTP that caused memory havoc. His work together with my efforts created two
  fixes:

  #1 - FTP::file was moved to struct ftp_conn, because is has to be dealt with
       at connection cleanup, at which time the struct HandleData could be
       used by another connection.
       Also, the unused char *urlpath member is removed from struct FTP.
 
  #2 - provide a Curl_reset_reqproto() function that frees
       data->reqdata.proto.* on connection setup if needed (that is if the
       SessionHandle was used by a different connection).

  A long-term goal is of course to somehow get rid of how the reqdata struct
  is used, as it is too error-prone.
 
- Bug report #1815530 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1815530) points out
  that specifying a proxy with a trailing slash didn't work (unless it also
  contained a port number).

Patrick M (15 October 2007)
- Fixed the dynamic CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS problem: this option is now static again
  and option CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS has been added to support dynamic mode.

Patrick M (12 October 2007)
- Added per-protocol callback static tables, replacing callback ptr storage
  in the connectdata structure by a single handler table ptr.

Dan F (11 October 2007)
- Fixed the -l option of runtests.pl

- Added support for skipping tests based on key words.

Daniel S (9 October 2007)
- Michal Marek removed the no longer existing return codes from the curl.1
  man page.
