                               History of Changes

Daniel (2 October 2001)

- Major fix in how libcurl does TCP connects. It now does non-blocking

  connects to enable good timeouts without signals, and it now tries all IP

  addresses for any given host (if it resolves more than one and the first

  one(s) don't connect). Added a new source file 'connect.c' to deal with all

  the TCP connect stuff.

- We now support IPv4-style IP-addresses in rfc2732-format, to better support

  people writing scripts without knowing what address there is.

- Cleanups in the FTP source code. Divided the code into even more smaller

  functions and generally tried to make the differences between IPv4 and IPv6

  get less noticable in the sources.

- If the remote file time is not readable/accessable/understood by libcurl,

  libcurl now returns -1 in the CURLINFO_FILETIME data, not 0 as it previously

  did. This should make curl not touch the file data unless there was a known

  remote date when -R is used.

Daniel (27 September 2001)

- Working on getting non-blocking connects working platform independent. We

  will also make curl try all IPs for a given host if the first one should

  fail.

Daniel (26 September 2001)

- Kevin Roth provided a cookie example that proved the cookie jar

  functionality wasn't working properly. I added test case 46 and made it

  work.

Daniel (25 September 2001)

- Jörn Hartroth updated the mingw32 makefiles.

Version 7.9

Daniel (23 September 2001)

- Found and removed a 'socket leak' that would occur on IPv6 enabled hosts

  when FTP RETR failed.
