- Michal Marek fixed minor mistake in test case 553 that prevented it from
working on other IP-addresses or port numbers.

- Dmitry Kurochkin: In "real world" testing I found more bugs in
pipelining. Broken connection is not restored and we get into infinite
loop. It happens because of wrong is_in_pipeline values.

- Kevin Reed filed bug report #1879375
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1879375) which describes how libcurl
got lost in this scenario: proxy tunnel (or HTTPS over proxy), ask to do any
proxy authentication and the proxy replies with an auth (like NTLM) and then
closes the connection after that initial informational response.
libcurl would not properly re-initialize the connection to the proxy and
continue the auth negotiation like supposed. It does now however, as it will
now detect if one or more authentication methods were available and asked
for, and will thus retry the connection and continue from there.
- I made the progress callback get called properly during proxy CONNECT.

- Igor Franchuk pointed out that CURLOPT_COOKIELIST set to "ALL" leaked
memory, and so did "SESS". Fixed now.

- Check poll.h at configuration time, and use it when sys/poll.h unavailable
Daniel S (22 Jan 2008)
- Dmitry Kurochkin removed the cancelled state for pipelining, as we agreed
that it is bad anyway. Starting now, removing a handle that is in used in a
pipeline will break the pipeline - it'll be set back up again but still...
Yang Tse (21 Jan 2008)
- Disable ldap support for cygwin builds, since it breaks whole build process.
Fixing it will affect other platforms, so it is postponed for another release.

- Lau Hang Kin found and fixed a problem with the multi interface when doing
CONNECT over a proxy. curl_multi_fdset() didn't report back the socket
properly during that state, due to a missing case in the switch in the
multi_getsock() function.

- Don't abort tests 518 and 537 when unable to raise the open-file soft limit.

- Improved handling of out of memory in the command line tool that afected
data url encoded HTTP POSTs when reading it from a file.

- Dmitry Kurochkin worked a lot on improving the HTTP Pipelining support that
previously had a number of flaws, perhaps most notably when an application
fired up N transfers at once as then they wouldn't pipeline at all that
nicely as anyone would think... Test case 530 was also updated to take the
improved functionality into account.

- Calls to Curl_failf() are not supposed to provide a trailing newline as the
function itself adds that. Fixed on 50 or something strings!
Daniel S (15 Jan 2008)
- I made the torture test on test 530 go through. This was actually due to
silly code left from when we switched to let the multi handle "hold" the dns
cache when using the multi interface... Of course this only triggered when a
certain function call returned error at the correct moment.

- Joe Malicki filed bug report #1871269
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1871269) and we could fix his hang-
problem that occurred when doing a large HTTP POST request with the
response-body read from a callback.
Daniel S (12 Jan 2008)
- I re-arranged the curl --help output. All the options are now sorted on
their long option names and all descriptions are one-liners.
- Eric Landes provided the patch (edited by me) that introduces the
--keepalive-time to curl to set the keepalive probe interval. I also took
the opportunity to rename the recently added no-keep-alive option to
no-keepalive to keep a consistent naming and to avoid getting two dashes in
these option names. Eric also provided an update to the man page for the new
option.

- Daniel Egger made CURLOPT_RANGE work on file:// URLs the very same way it
already worked for FTP:// URLs.

- I made the curl tool switch from using CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION to now use the
spanking new CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION simply to take advantage of the improved
performance for the upload resume cases where you want to upload the last
few bytes of a very large file. To implement this decently, I had to switch
the client code for uploading from fopen()/fread() to plain open()/read() so
that we can use lseek() to do >32bit seeks (as fseek() doesn't allow that)
on systems that offer support for that.
- Michal Marek made curl-config --libs not include /usr/lib64 in the output
(it already before skipped /usr/lib). /usr/lib64 is the default library
directory on many 64bit systems and it's unlikely that anyone would use the
path privately on systems where it's not.

- Georg Lippitsch brought CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SEEKDATA to allow
libcurl to seek in a given input stream. This is particularly important when
doing upload resumes when there's already a huge part of the file present
remotely. Before, and still if this callback isn't used, libcurl will read
and through away the entire file up to the point to where the resuming
begins (which of course can be a slow opereration depending on file size,
I/O bandwidth and more). This new function will also be preferred to get
used instead of the CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION for seeking back in a stream when
doing multi-stage HTTP auth with POST/PUT.
- Nikitinskit Dmitriy filed bug report #1868255
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1868255) with a patch. It identifies
and fixes a problem with parsing WWW-Authenticate: headers with additional
spaces in the line that the parser wasn't written to deal with.

- Introducing curl_easy_pause() and new magic return codes for both the read
and the write callbacks that now can make a connection's reading and/or
writing get paused.
Daniel S (6 Jan 2008)
- Jeff Johnson filed bug report #1863171
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1863171) where he pointed out that
libcurl's date parser didn't accept a +1300 time zone which actually is used
fairly often (like New Zealand's Dailight Savings Time), so I modified the
parser to now accept up to and including -1400 to +1400.

- Based on further discussion on curl-library, I reverted yesterday's SOCKS5
code to instead introduce support for a new proxy type called
CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME that is used to send the host name to the proxy
instead of IP address and there's thus no longer any need for a new
curl_easy_setopt() option.
The default SOCKS5 proxy is again back to sending the IP address to the
proxy. The new curl command line option for enabling sending host name to a
SOCKS5 proxy is now --socks5-hostname.

Daniel S (4 Jan 2008)
- Based on Maxim Perenesenko's patch, we now do SOCKS5 operations and let the
proxy do the host name resolving and only if --socks5ip (or
CURLOPT_SOCKS5_RESOLVE_LOCAL) is used we resolve the host name locally and
pass on the IP address only to the proxy.
Yang Tse (3 Jan 2008)
- Modified test harness to allow SCP, SFTP and SOCKS4 tests to run with
OpenSSH 2.9.9, SunSSH 1.0 or later versions. SOCKS5 tests need OpenSSH
3.7, SunSSH 1.0 or later.

- I fixed two cases of missing return code checks when handling chunked
decoding where a write error (or abort return from a callback) didn't stop
libcurl's processing.
Daniel Stenberg

- I removed the socklen_t use from the public curl/curl.h header and instead
made it an unsigned int. The type was only used in the curl_sockaddr struct
definition (only used by the curl_opensocket_callback). On all platforms I
could find information about, socklen_t is 32 unsigned bits large so I don't
think this will break the API or ABI. The main reason for this change is of
course for all the platforms that don't have a socklen_t definition in their
headers to build fine again. Providing our own configure magic and custom
definition of socklen_t on those systems proved to work but was a lot of
cruft, code and extra magic needed - when this very small change of type
seems harmless and still solves the missing socklen_t problem.

- Richard Atterer brought a patch that added support for SOCKS4a proxies,
which is an inofficial PROXY4 variant that sends the hostname to the proxy
instead of the resolved address (which is already supported by SOCKS5).
--socks4a is the curl command line option for it and CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE can
now be set to CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A as well.

- Mohun Biswas pointed out that --libcurl generated a source code with an int
function but without a return statement. While fixing that, I also took care
about adding some better comments for the generated code.
