                                  Changelog

Version 7.10.8-pre1 (8 September 2003)

Daniel (7 September)
- Jurij Smakov found out that the non-OpenSSL MD5 code was not working on
  Alpha (or ia64). Only the OpenSSL-version did. I made a fix I think corrects
  the problem. 

Daniel (5 September)
- Kevin Fisk reported that configure --enable-thread didn't work. I fixed.

- De-macrofied the lib/hash.c source code somewhat.

Daniel (4 September)
- CURLINFO_HTTPAUTH_AVAIL and CURLINFO_PROXYAUTH_AVAIL added, Based on Joerg
  Mueller-Tolk's patch,

Early (4 September)
- Added CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT - allows user to set strict timeout
  requirements on the FTP server's ability to respond to individual commands
  without placing global requirements on transfer or connect time.  Files
  affected:
    - include/curl/curl.h
        Added option CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT
    - lib/ftp.c
        Added branch inside Curl_GetFTPResponse to check for 
        data->set.ftp_response_timeout
    - lib/url.c
        Modified Curl_setopt to recognize CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT
    - lib/urldata.h
        Added ftp_response_timeout to struct UserDefined

Daniel (3 September)
- Peter Pentchev found and fixed two problems in the test suite's web server
  code, that made it segfault at times.

- Jörg Mueller-Tolk improved the proxy user+password handling, especially
  when providing a blank password.

Daniel (2 September)
- Fix for making CONNECT to proxies do the correct magic to allow NTLM, Digest
  and similar to work.

Daniel (1 September)
- Henrik Storner made libcurl work fine with OpenLDAP 2.1.22 (current).

- Jeff Pohlmeyer added a proper error message for non-resolving hosts when
  using ares for lookups.

Daniel (25 August)
- John McGowan reported that curl -k still failed if the HTTPS server's CN
  field wasn't obtainable. This was due to the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST being
  set to 1, and libcurl failed if the CN was missing. Starting now, having it
  set to 1 will simply output a warning if no CN could be obtained (as having
  a mismatch is OK).

Daniel (21 August)
- Vincent Sanders provided a fix for name resolving when linked with uClibc.

Daniel (20 August)
- Gerd v. Egidy provided a patch that makes libcurl store the FTP response
  code from ftp servers. Using curl_easy_getinfo() with CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE
  returns that data. The option is therefore now also known as
  CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE.

- Antoine Calando found a segfault when doing multi-part/formpost using
  the multi interface.

- Antoine Calando pointed out that curl_multi_info_read() didn't set the
  msgs_in_queue to 0 properly when returning NULL.

Daniel (19 August)
- I made curl support multiple -T options, as well as -T "{file1,file2}"
  style globbing. One -T for each URL is supported.

- Jeff Pohlmeyer found a segfault when using ares-enabled libcurl and the
  multi interface when trying a non-existing host name.

- Made the libcurl printf code support long longs if available.

- Loren Kirkby pointed out that we did not clean up all SSL-allocated memory
  in curl_global_cleanup().

Daniel (17 August)
- Setting CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION or CURLOPT_READFUNCTION to NULL will now make
  them get the internal defaults restored. Previously this could cause a
  segfault. We should aim at having all pointer-related options get restored
  to default/safe values when set to NULL.

Version 7.10.7 (15 August 2003)

Daniel (14 August)
- I modified the memdebug system to return failure on memory allocation
  functions after a set amount of successful ones. This enables us to test
  out-of-memory situations in a controlled manner and we can make sure that
  curl/libcurl behaves good in those.

  This made me find and fix several spots where we did not cleanup properly
  when bailing out due to errors (low memory).

- Corrected test case 74. Made using -o with bad #[num] codes complain and
  bail out. Made #[num] support numbers larger than 9 as well. Added test
  case 86 for a proper range globbing test as well.

Version 7.10.7-pre4 (12 August 2003)

Daniel (12 August)
- curl_version_info() now returns a flag if libcurl was built with asynch DNS
  support, and this is now also displayed with 'curl -V'.

- Added a few new man pages to the docs/libcurl dir: curl_share_init,
  curl_share_setopt, curl_share_cleanup, libcurl-easy and libcurl-share.

Daniel (11 August)
- Mike Cherepov made the local binding code work for Windows, which makes
  the option CURLOPT_INTERFACE work on Windows as well.

- Vincent Sanders updated the fopen.c example code a lot.

- --proxy-ntlm is now supported by the curl tool. It forces the proxy
  authentication to be made using NTLM. It does not yet work for HTTPS over
  proxies (or other proxy-tunneling options). Test case 81 and 82 do some
  simple initial ntlm testing.

- Found and fixed a minor memory leak on re-used connections with
  proxy-authentication.

- I removed -@ and -Z as valid short options. They were very rarely used (@
  wasn't even documented).

- Serge Semashko introduced CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH, and make it work when set to
  CURLAUTH_NTLM and/or CURLAUTH_BASIC. The PROXAUTH is similar to HTTPAUTH,
  but is for the proxy connection only, and HTTPAUTH is for the remote host.

- Fixed loading of cookies with blank contents from a cookie jar. Also made the
  cookie functions inform on added and skipped cookies (for cookie debugging).

Version 7.10.7-pre3 (8 August 2003)

Daniel (8 August)
- Applied David Byron's fix for file:// URLs with drive letters included.

- I added the --ftp-create-dirs to the client code, which activates Early's
  CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS option, and wrote test case 147 to verify
  it. Added the option to the curl.1 man page too. Added the option to the
  curl_easy_setopt.3 man page too.

Daniel (7 August)
- Test case 60 failed on ia64 and AMD Opteron. Fixed now.

- Fixed a printf problem that resulted in urlglobbing bugs (bug #203827 in the
  debian bug tracker). Added test case 74 to verify the fix and to discover if
  this breaks in the future.

- "make distcheck" works again.

Version 7.10.7-pre2 (6 August 2003)

Daniel (5 August)
- Duncan Wilcox helped me verify that the latest incarnation of my ares patch
  builds fine on Mac OS X (see the new lib/README.ares) file for all details.

- Salvatore Sorrentino filed bug report #783116 and Early Ehlinger posted a
  bug report to the libcurl list, both identifying a problem with FTP
  persitent connections and how the dir hiearchy was not properly reset
  between files.

- David Byron's thoughts on a fixed Makefile in tests/ were applied.

- Jan Sundin reported a case where curl ignored a cookie that browsers don't,
  which turned up to be due to the number of dots in the 'domain'. I've now
  made curl follow the the original netscape cookie spec less strict on that
  part.

Daniel (4 August)
- Dirk Manske added cookie support for the experimental, hidden and still
  undocumented share feature!

- Mark Fletcher provided an excellent bug report that identified a problem
  with FOLLOWLOCATION and chunked transfer-encoding, as libcurl would not
  properly ignore the body contents of 3XX response that included the
  Location: header.

Early (6 August)
- Added option CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS
    This option will force the target file's path to be created if it
    does not already exist on the remote system.
 
  Files affected:
    - include/curl/curl.h
        Added option CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS
    - lib/ftp.c
        Added function ftp_mkd, which issues a MKD command
