7.5-commit

                               History of Changes

Version 7.5

Daniel (1 December 2000)

- Craig Davison gave us his updates on the VC++ makefiles, so now curl should

  build fine with the Microsoft compiler on windows too.

- Fixed the libcurl versioning so that we don't ruin old programs when

  releasing new shared library interfaces.

Daniel (30 November 2000)

- Renamed docs/README.curl to docs/MANUAL to better reflect what the document

  actually contains.

Daniel (29 November 2000)

- I removed a bunch of '#if 0' sections from the code. They only make things

  harder to follow. After all, we do have all older versions in the CVS.

Version 7.5-pre5

Daniel (28 November 2000)

- I filled in more error codes in the man page error code list that had been

  lagging.

char *curl_version(void);

/* This is the version number */

#define LIBCURL_VERSION "7.5-pre4"

#define LIBCURL_VERSION "7.5"

#define LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM 0x070500

/* linked-list structure for the CURLOPT_QUOTE option (and other) */

INCLUDES = -I$(top_srcdir)/include

libcurl_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info 1:0:0

# This flag accepts an argument of the form current[:revision[:age]]. So,

# passing -version-info 3:12:1 sets current to 3, revision to 12, and age to

# 1.

#

# If either revision or age are omitted, they default to 0. Also note that age

# must be less than or equal to the current interface number.

#

# Here are a set of rules to help you update your library version information: 

#

# 1.Start with version information of 0:0:0 for each libtool library.

#

# 2.Update the version information only immediately before a public release of

# your software. More frequent updates are unnecessary, and only guarantee

# that the current interface number gets larger faster.

#

# 3.If the library source code has changed at all since the last update, then

# increment revision (c:r:a becomes c:r+1:a).

#

# 4.If any interfaces have been added, removed, or changed since the last

# update, increment current, and set revision to 0.

#

# 5.If any interfaces have been added since the last public release, then

# increment age.

#

# 6.If any interfaces have been removed since the last public release, then

# set age to 0.
