CHANGES

Daniel (3 January 2007)
- 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,

Daniel (2 January 2007)
- 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).
