- Ingo Ralf Blum submitted a series of patches required to get curl to compile
properly with cygwin.
- Robert Weaver posted a fix for the win32 section of the curl_getenv() code
that corrected a potential memory leak.
- Added comments in a few files in a sudden attempt to make the sources more
easy to read and understand!
Daniel (23 January 2001)
- Added simple IPv6 detection in the configure script and made the version
string add 'ipv6' to the enable section in that case. ENABLE_IPV6 will be
set if curl is compiled with IPv6 support enabled.
- Added a parser for IPv6-style specified IP-addresses in a URL. Thus, when
IPv6 gets enabled soon, we can use URLs like '[0::1]:80'...
- Made the URL globbing in the client possible to fail silently if there's an
error in the globbing. It makes it almost intuitive, so when you don't
follow the syntax rules, globbing is simply switched off and the raw string
is used instead.
I still think we'll get problems with IPv6-style IP-addresses when we *want*
globbing on parts of the URL as the initial part of the URL will for sure
seriously confuse the globber.

- Björn Stenberg supplied a progress meter patch that makes it look better even
during slow starts. Previously it made some silly assumptions...
- Added two FTP tests for -Q and -Q - stuff since it was being discussed on
the mailing list. Had to correct the ftpserver.pl too as it bugged slightly.
Daniel (19 January 2001)
- Made the Location: parsers deal with any-length URLs. Thus I removed the last
code that restricts the length of URLs that curl supports.
- Added a --globoff test case (#28) and it quickly identified a memory problem
in src/main.c that I took care of.
Version 7.6-pre3
Daniel (17 January 2001)
- Made the two former files lib/download.c and lib/highlevel.c become the new
lib/transfer.c which makes more sense. I also did the rename from Transfer()
to Curl_Transfer() in the other source files that use the transfer function
in the spirit of using Curl_ prefix for library-scoped global symbols.

- Added -g/--globoff that switches OFF the URL globbing and thus enables {}[]
letters to be part of the URL. Do note that RFC2396 section 2.4.3 explicitly
mention these letters to be escaped. This was posted as a feature request by
Jorge Gutierrez and as a bug by Terry.
- Short options to curl that requires parameters can now be specified without
having the option and its parameter space separated. -ofile works as good as
-o file. -m20 is equal to -m 20. Do note that this goes for single-letter
options only, verbose --long-style options still must be separated with
space from their parameters.
- Francis Dagenais reported that the SCO compiler still fails when compiling
curl due to that getpass_r() prototype. I've now put it around #ifndef
HAVE_GETPASS_R in an attempt to please the SCO systems.
- Made some minor corrections to get the client to cleanup properly and I made
the separator work again when getting multiple globbed URLs to stdout.
- Worked with Loic Dachary to get the make dist and make distcheck work

correctly. The 'maketgz' script is now using the automake generated 'make
dist' when creating release archives. Loic successfully made 'make rpms'
automatically build RPMs!
Loic Dachary (6 January 2001)
- Automated generation of rpm packages, no need to be root.
- make distcheck generates a proper distribution (EXTRA_DIST
in all Makefile.am modified to match FILES).
Daniel (5 January 2001)
- Huge client-side hack: now multiple URLs are supported. Any number of URLs
can be specified on the command line, and they'll all be downloaded. There
must be a corresponding -o or -O for each URL or the data will be written to
stdout. This needs more testing, time to release a 7.6-pre package.
- The krb4 support was broken in the release. Fixed now.
- Huge internal symbol rename operation. All non-static but still lib-internal
symbols should now be prefixed with 'Curl_' to prevent collisions with other
libs. All public symbols should be prefixed with 'curl_' and the rest should
be static and thus invisible to the outside world. I updated the INTERNALS
document to say this as well.

- As Kevin P Roth suggested, I've added text to the man page for every command
line option and what happens when you specify that option more than
once. That hasn't been exactly crystal clear before.
- Made the configure script possible to run from outside the source-tree. For
odd reasons I can't build curl properly outside though. It has to do with
curl's dependencies on libcurl...
- Cut off all older (dated 1999 and earlier) CHANGES entries from this file.
The older piece is named CHANGES.0 and is added to the CVS repository in
case anyone would need it.
- I added another file 'CVS-INFO' to the CVS. It contains information about
files in the CVS that aren't included in release archives and how to build
curl when you get the sources off CVS.
- Updated CONTRIBUTE and FAQ due to the new license.

Daniel (3 January 2001)
- Renamed README.libcurl to LIBCURL
- Changed headers in all sources files to the new dual license concept of
curl: use the MIT/X derivate license *or* MPL. The LEGAL file was updated
accordingly and the MPL 1.1 and MIT/X derivate licenses are now part of the
release archive.
