                               History of Changes

Daniel (24 July 2000)
- Added CURLOPT_PROXYPORT to the curl_easy_setopt() call to allow the proxy
  port number to be set separately from the proxy host name.

- Andrew <andrew at ugh.net.au> pointed out a netrc manual bug.

- The FTP transfer code now accepts a 250-code as well as the previously
  accepted 226, after a successful file transfer. Mohan <mnair at
  evergreen-funds.com> pointed this out.

- The check for *both* nsl and socket was never added in the v7 configure.in
  when I moved the main branch. I re-added that check to configure.in. This was
  discovered by Rich Gray.

- Howard, Blaise <Blaise.Howard at factiva.com> pointed out a missing free() in
  curl_disconnect() which of course meant libcurl ate memory.

- Brian E. Gallew noted that the HTTP 'Host:' header curl sent did not
  properly include the port number if non-default ports were used. This should
  now have been fixed.

- HTTP connect errors now return errors earlier. This was most notably causing
  problems when the HTTPS certificate had problems and later caused a crash.
  Many thanks to Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls at level8.com> for discovering
  and suggesting a fix...

Daniel (21 June 2000)
- After a "bug report" I received where the user was using both -F and -I in a
  HTTP request (it severly confused the library I should add), I added some
  checks to src/main.c that prevents setting more than one HTTP request
  command, no matter what the user wants! ;-)

Version 7.0.8beta

Daniel (20 June 2000)
- I did a major replace in many files to use the new curl domain haxx.se
  instead of the previous one.

- As Eetu Ojanen suggested, I finally took the step and now libcurl no longer
  makes a POST after it has followed a location. When the initial POST has
  been done, it'll turned into a GET for the further requests. This is only
  interesting when using -L/--location *and* doing a POST at the same time.

  While messing with this, I added another weird feature I call 'auto
  referer'. If you append ';auto' to the right of a given referer string (or
  only use that string as referer), libcurl will automatically set the
  previoud URL as refered when it follows a Location: and gets a succeeding
  document.

- My hero Rich Gray found the very obscure FTP bug that happened to him only
  when passing through a particular firewall and using the PORT command. It
  turned out that PORT was the only command in the lib/ftp.c source that
  didn't send a proper \r\n sequence but instead used the faulty \n which as
  it seemed is supported by most major ftp servers... :-O

Version 7.0.7beta

Daniel (16 June 2000)
- I had avoided this long enough now, so I moved the alternative progress bar
  stuff from the lib and added it to the client code. This is now using the
  recently added progress callback and it seems to work pretty much like
  before. Since it is only one progress bar and you and download and upload at
  the same time, this bar shows the combined progress of both directions. This
  code was just ported from the old place to this, Lars is still our saviour!
  ;-) This also made the documentation more accurate since I never removed
  this function from any docs! Although I now removed the CURLOPT_PROGRESSMODE
  from the library since the lib has only one internal progress meter and it
  will never get another. It is although likely that the internal one also
  will be moved to the client code in the future (when I have other means of
  getting the writeout data and move that too to the client).

- I took the opportunity to verify that standard progress meter works and I
  found out it didn't get inited properly. Grrr. I corrected that as well.

Daniel (15 June 2000)
- I thought I'd better verify that the -F option still works in v7 and of
  course it didn't... :-/ Anyway, I had the problems I could discover
  corrected. About one month of beta testing and not a single person has used
  this feature with v7?

- Björn correctly pointed out that the --progress-bar still doesn't work in
  v7. Hm.

- Tim Tassonis discovered that curl 7 didn't handle normal http POST as it
  should. I corrected this.

Version 7.0.6beta

Daniel (14 June 2000)
- Björn Stenberg pointed out several problems (related to win32 compiling):
  lib/strequal.c had a bad #ifdef for one of the string comparisons (win32)
  src/main.c had several minor problems
  lib/makefile.m32 had getpass.[co] twice
  src/config-win32.h lacked the HAVE_FCNTL_H define
  both config-win32.h files now only set the HAVE_UNISTD_H define if the
  define MINGW32 is set, and I modified src/makefile.m32 and lib/makefile.m32
  to set it.

Version 7.0.5beta

Daniel (14 June 2000)
- Applied Luong Dinh Dung's comments about a few win32 compile problems.

- Applied Björn Stenberg's suggested fix that turns the win32 stdout to
  binary. It won't do it if the -B / --use-ascii option is used. That option
  is now an extended version of the previous -B /--ftp--ascii. The flag was
  already in use be the ldap as well so the new name fits pretty good. The
  libcyrl CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT was also introduced as an alias to the now
  obsolete CURLOPT_FTPASCII. Can't verify this fix myself as I have no win32
  compiler around.

Daniel (13 June 2000)
- Luong Dinh Dung <dung at sch.bme.hu> found a problem in curl_easy_cleanup()
  since it free()ed the main curl struct *twice*. This is now corrected.

Daniel (9 June 2000)
- Updated the RESOURCES file, added a README.win32 file.

Daniel (8 June 2000)
- So I finally added the progress callback to the *setopt() options and it
  should work now. I don't have the energy to write any test program for it
  right now.
- Made the callback function typedefs public in curl/curl.h for comfort. Just
  in case anyone wanna fiddle with such pointers.
- Updated the curl_easy_setopt() man page accordingly.

Version 7.0.4beta

Daniel (2 June 2000)
- I noticed that when doing Location: following, we lost custom headers in all
  but the first request.
- Removed the 'HttpPost' struct and moved the header stuff to the more generic
  curl_slist.
- Added some better slist-cleanups in src/main.c

Version 7.0.3beta

Daniel (31 May 2000)
- So I discovered that I released the 7.0.2beta without it being able to
  compile under Linux. gethostbyname_r() and gethostbyaddr_r() turned out to
  feature a different amount of arguments on different systems so I had to add
  a configure check for this and adjust the code slightly.

Version 7.0.2beta

Daniel (29 May 2000)
- Corrected the bits.* assignments when using CURLOPT options that only
  toggles one of those bits.

- Applied the huge patches from David LeBlanc <dleblanc at qnx.com> that add
  usage of the gethostbyname_r() and similar functions in case they're around,
  since that make libcurl much better threadsafe in many systems (such as
  solaris). I added the checks for these functions to the configure script.

  I can't explain why, but the inet_ntoa_r() function did not appear in my
  Solaris include files, I had to add my own include file for this for now.

- Jörn Hartroth brought me fixes to make the win32 version compile properly as
  well as a rename of the 'interface' field in the urldata struct, as it seems
  to be reserved in some gcc versions!

- Rich Gray struck back with yet some portability reports. Data General DG/UX
  needed a little fix in lib/ldap.c since it doesn't have RTLD_GLOBAL defined.
  More fixes are expected as a result of Richies very helpful work.

Version 7.0.1beta
Daniel Stenberg's avatar
Daniel Stenberg committed

Daniel (21 May 2000)
- Updated lots of #defines, enums and variable type names in the library. No
  more weird URG or URLTAG prefixes. All types and names should be curl-
  prefixed to avoid name space clashes. The FLAGS-parameter to the former
  curl_urlget() has been converted into a bunch of flags to use in separate
  setopt calls. I'm still focusing on the easy-interface, as the curl tool is
  now using that.

- Bjorn Reese has provided me with an asynchronous name resolver that I plan
  to use in upcoming versions of curl to be able to gracefully timeout name
  lookups.

Version 7.0beta

Daniel (18 May 2000)
- Introduced LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM to the curl.h include file to better allow
  source codes to be dependent on the lib version. This define is now set to
  a dexadecimal number, with 8 bits each for major number, minor number and
  patch number. In other words, version 1.2.3 would make it 0x010203. It also
  makes a larger number a newer version.

Daniel (17 May 2000)
- Martin Kammerhofer correctly pointed out several flaws in the FTP range
