closing in on release

                                  Changelog

Daniel (4 October 2004)

- Chris found a race condition resulting in CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST and

  potential crash, in the windows threaded name resolver code.

Daniel (3 October 2004)

- Replaced the use of isspace() in cookie.c with our own version instead since

  we have most data as 'char *' and that makes us pass in negative values if

  there is 8bit data in the string. Changing to unsigned causes too much

  warnings or too many required typecasts to the normal string functions.

  Harshal Pradhan identified this problem.

Daniel (2 October 2004)

- Bertrand Demiddelaer found a case where libcurl could read already freed

  data when CURLOPT_VERBOSE is used and a (very) persistent connection. It

  happened when the dns cache entry for the connection was pruned while the

  connection was still alive and then again re-used. We worked together on

  this fix.

- Gisle Vanem provided code that displays an error message when the (libidn

  based) IDN conversion fails. This is really due to a missing suitable

  function in the libidn API that I hope we can remove once libidn gets a

 o added CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO

 o added CURLOPT_FTPSSLAUTH to allow ftp connects to attempt "AUTH TLS" instead

   before "AUTH SSL"

 o curl_getdate() completely rewritten, which may affect curl -z use cases

 o curl_getdate() completely rewritten: may affect rare curl -z use cases

This release includes the following bugfixes:

 o a race condition sometimes resulting in CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST in the

   windows threaded name resolver code

 o isspace() invokes with negative values in the cookie code

 o a case of read-already-freed-data when CURLOPT_VERBOSE is used and a (very)

   persistent connection

 o now includes descriptive error messages for IDN errors

 o more forgivning PASS response code check for better working with proftpd

 o curl/multi.h works better included in winsock-using apps

 o curl_easy_reset() no longer enables the progress meter

 o build fix for SSL disabled curl with SSL Engine support present

 o connect failures properly stores an error message in the errorbuffer

 o Rare Location:-following problem with bad original URL

 o -F can now add Content-Type on non-file sections

 o double Host: header when following Location: with replaced Host: fixed

 o curl_multi_add_handle() return code fix

 o double Host: header when following Location: with replaced Host:

 o curl_multi_add_handle() return code

 o "Proxy-Connection: close" is now understood and properly dealt with

 o curl_getdate() crash fixed

 o curl_getdate() crash

 o downloading empty files now calls the write callback properly

 o no reverse DNS lookups for ip-only addresses with ipv6-enabled libcurl

 o libcurl works better multi-threaded on AIX (when built with xlc)

 o AdacURL version 7.12.1 http://www.almroth.com/adacurl/index.html

 o pycurl version 7.12.1 http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/

 o tclcurl version 0.12.1
