                                  Changelog

Daniel (31 May 2005)

- Todd Kulesza reported a flaw in the proxy option, since a numerical IPv6

  address was not possible to use. It is now, but requires it written

  RFC2732-style, within brackets - which incidently is how you enter numerical

  IPv6 addresses in URLs. Test case 263 added to verify.

Daniel (30 May 2005)

- Eric Cooper reported about a problem with HTTP servers that responds with

  binary zeroes within the headers. They confused libcurl to do wrong so the

 Available command line options:           107

 Available curl_easy_setopt() options:     122

 Number of public functions in libcurl:    46

 Amount of public web site mirrors:        23

 Amount of public web site mirrors:        24

 Number of known libcurl bindings:         31

 Number of contributors:                   437

This release includes the following bugfixes:

 o proxy host set with numerical IPv6 address

 o better treatment of binary zeroes in HTTP response headers

 o fixed the notorius FTP server failure in the test suite

 o better checking of text output in the test suite on windows

 o TYPE response check less strict

 o FTP servers' TYPE command response check made less strict

 o URL-without-slash as in http://somehost?data

 o strerror_r() configure check for HP-UX 10.20 (and others)

 o time parse work-around on HP-UX 10.20 since its gmtime_r() is broken

This release would not have looked like this without help, code, reports and

advice from friends like these:

 John McGowan, Georg Wicherski, Andres Garcia, Eric Cooper
