                                  Changelog

Daniel (1 March 2004)
- We offer a CURL_FORMAT_OFF_T define in the public header, which can be used
  to printf() curl_off_t variables. We also modified the libcurl sources to
  use this define instead of the previous %Od approach (although I've left the
  O-flag functional in the code). This should also prevent compilers to warn
  on the home-grown option.

- Fixed the resume-check code to test for a working resume at the end of the
  headers and not at the first body-byte.

- CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE is now considered obsolete. Stop using it. If
  you need a global DNS cache for whatever reason, use the share interface and
  you'll get a global cache that works the way it should work. You can even
  have any number of global caches, all at your command. This is now also
  mentioned in the docs.

- Made the *printf code support the z-flag to enable size_t printf() in a
  manner similar to how glibc allows it. To make printfing of this work on
  platforms with 64bit size_t and 32bit ints. If there even are any! ;-)

- Christopher R. Palmer discovered that if you CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT and
  CURLAUTH_NTLM (or CURLAUTH_ANY and libcurl then picked NTLM), libcurl would
  loop without succeeding to authenticate due to the new connection that was
  made for all round-trips in the authentication. Now, the FRESH_CONNECT is
  remade to only matter for the first connection made with curl_easy_perform()
  and all the rest that might follow due to FOLLOWLOCATION or HTTP
  authentication are now ignoring that option.

- Adjusted the QUIT code slightly since it could core-dump.

- Corrected the test suite's FTP server to provide a correct size to the
  'verifiedserver' request.

Daniel (27 February 2004)
- Joe Halpin made the FTP code send QUIT on the control connection before
  disconnecting the TCP connection. This is what good-behaving ftp clients
  should do.

Daniel (26 February 2004)
- David Byron updated several files to make curl build fine on MSVC 6. He
  also added the 'buildconf.bat' that works like the 'buildconf + configure'
  combo does on unixes.

- Gisle Vanem made the memdebug stuff support calloc() as well.

- Tor Arntsen pointed out that testcurl.sh needed to remove the generated
  files in order to have them re-generated in each build.

- Andy Serpa found out that the share interface did not enjoy life when not
  having the lock and unlock callbacks set, even though documented to be
  OK. It still is OK, and now the code won't segfault anymore!

Daniel (25 February 2004)
- Based on a patch by Greg Hewgill I modified how long long is used in the
  mprintf code, as we can use a 64bit type with MSVC that is a long long
  equivalent. This corrects some weird large file behaviors on windows.

- Tor Arntsen helped me work out --enable-debug to work better with different
  versions of the gcc and icc compilers.

- Added CURLOPT_SHARE to the curl_easy_setopt.3 man page.

Daniel (22 February 2004)
- Applied the final pieces of Gisle Vanem's patch that brings a working name
  resolve timeout to the windows versions of curl!

Daniel (21 February 2004)
- David Byron's fix to allow the speed-limit logic work even if you set
  limit-rate. It does work on the expense of the rate limiter.

Daniel (20 February 2004)
- configure --enable-debug with gcc now also tries to detect the icc compiler
  (which somehow gets treated as if it is a gcc) to stop using all the gcc
  options with it, and we also provide -isystem options for each extra -I
  option the configure script has figured out (for OpenSSL, kerberos, zlib,
  Heimdal etc). This of course to prevent warnings on headers we don't have
  control of.

Daniel (19 February 2004)
- Doug Porter made libcurl use the HOME environment variable before the
  getpwuid results when looking for .netrc files.

- If 'configure --enable-debug' is used with gcc, it now checks which gcc
  version it is and uses as picky compiler options as possible for the
  particular version.

- Code that can be used in both the lib and in the curl app is now made to use
  the curlx_ prefix. The first function to be available like this is the
  curlx_strtoll() function. This is made to allow the app to use existing code,
  but without polluting the libcurl API. Further explanations posted here:

Daniel (18 February 2004)
- Fixed buildconf to not use "which" as AIX and Tru64 have what have been
  referred to as "horribly broken 'which' programs".

- Made sure dns cache timeout set to -1 really means caching forever.

Daniel (17 February 2004)
- Made it possibly to build c-ares with the libcurl memdebug system to better
  track memory.

Daniel (16 February 2004)
- When using ares, we now initialize the ares 'channel' in curl_easy_init()
  and re-use that same handle during the entire curl handle's life-time. It
  improves performance.

- Fixed a problem when displaying verbose for ipv6-enabled libcurls and
  re-used connections. Problem reported and fix verified by Grigory Entin.

- Jeff Lawson fixed the version-check in the SOCKS5 code.

Daniel (15 February 2004)
- Fixed a case where a host cache entry was not flagged in-use properly when a
  cached entry was used.

- Andrés García's patch that checks for winmm in the configure script was
  applied.

Daniel (13 February 2004)
- Ben Greear's SO_BINDTODEVICE patch for the binding of the local end to a
  specific network interface.

- Greg Hewgill found out that the variable holding 'contentlength' wasn't big
  enough to hold a large file!

- Tor Arntsen fixed a 64bit-related problem in date-related code in the ftp
  department, and there was another potential problem in the name resolve code
  too.

Daniel (11 February 2004)
- Removed a few variables that were only set but never used, as some compilers
  warn about that and we do not like compiler warnings!

- Removed the need for symlinks in the tests/data directory if curl is built
  outside of the source directory and the 'make test' is used. This was done
  by providing a "source dir path" to the scripts/servers.

- Now, if the configure script can't find an nroff tool or an option to nroff
  to use to convert man pages with, it will completely switch off the built-in
  manual.

- 'configure --disable-manual' completely disables the built-in manual from
  the curl command tool.

- Andrés García fixed the configure script and a minor source edit, and now
  he has managed to get msys/mingw to run configure and then build!

Daniel (9 February 2004)
- The default HTTP Accept: header was modified to the much simpler
  "Accept: */*".

- P R Schaffner updated the curl-ssl spec file for RPMs.

- Dominick Meglio brought lots of documentation for the share interface's man
  pages that were previously missing.

- Tor Arntsen provided a patch that makes libcurl work-around a bug in the
  AIX5 implementation of getaddrinfo(). This makes the FTP PORT stuff work on
  ipv6-enabled AIX builds.

- Ken Rastatter provided portability fixes for the curlgtk.c example, and now
  it runs on windows with GTK as well!

Daniel (6 February 2004)
- Andrés García made the configure script find gethostbyname() fine when run
  with mingw on windows.

- Modified the ldap code to use proper function pointers all over (instead of
  mixed data and function pointers) to work-around the picky MIPSPro compiler
  warnings.

- A custom Host: header is only considered if the request is not made by
  following a location. After discussions with Tim Baker.

Daniel (5 February 2004)
- The libz part of the configure script now only set the two libz-related
  define HAVE_ZLIB_H and HAVE_LIBZ if both the lib and the header is found.
  If one is missing, none of the defines is set.

- Andrés García fixed the Mingw makefiles.

- Len Krause reported that curl 7.9.X could do uploading from stdin without
  doing chunked encoding, which current curl cannot do even if you disable
  the transfer-encoding chunked header. Now it can again, and test case 98
  verifies this functionality.

- Tor Arntsen fixed a weird getaddrinfo() usage in the FTP code, preventing
  the ipv6-code for PORT work on AIX 5.2. We now also provide (better) error
  messages when bailing out in the that function.
