- Input from Michael Mealling made me add --feature to curl-config. It

  displays a list of features that have been built-in in the current

  libcurl. The currently available features that can be listed are: SSL, KRB4

  and IPv6.

- I committed Cris and Georg's perl interface work. They've got callbacks

  working and options that receives those slist pointers.

- Puneet Pawaia detected a problem with resumed downloads that use persistant

  connections and I made a rather large writeup to correct this. It is

  important that all session-data is stored in the connectdata struct and not

  in the main struct as this previously did.

- Frederic Lepied fixed a ftp resumed download problem and introduced a new

  error code that lets applications be able to detect when a resumed download

  actually didn't download anything since the whole file is already present.

  Should this return OK instead?

- I added 'curl-config.in' to the root dir and configure script. Now, a

  curl-config script is made when curl is built. The script can be used to

  figure out compile time options used when libcurl was built, which in turn

  should be options YOU should use to build applications that use libcurl.

  This *-config style is not a new idea, but something that has been used

  successfully in other (library based) projects.

- Phil Karn pointed out that libcurl wrongly did not always use GMT time zone

  for the If-Modified-Since style headers.

- Georg Schwarz pointed out an extra needed #include file needed in src/main.c

  for curl to build on Ultrix.

- Cris Bailiff pointed out two problems that I corrected. First, libcurl's use

  of the environment variable HTTP_PROXY in uppercase may become a security

  hazard when people use libcurl in a server/cgi situation where the server

  sets the HTTP_*-variables according to incoming headers in the HTTP

  request. Thus, a "Proxy:"-header would set that environment variable!

  Then, invoking curl_easy_perform() without having an URL set caused a crash.

- SM brought a patch that make curl use non-blocking connects on windows when

  connection timeout is set, as it allows windows users to set that timeout!  

- Cris Bailiff, Forrest Cahoon and Georg Horn work on the Perl interface.

- I've written a first shot at a Java interface to libcurl. Many thanks to

  Daniel Marell for tirelessly answering to all my basic Java questions. The

  interface doesn't work yet, but I'm getting closer...

  Daniel Marell for tirelessly answering to all my basic Java questions. It

  works, but it is still very basic.

- The progress display could get silly when doing multiple file transfers, as
