                               History of Changes

Daniel (30 May 2001)

- Cris Bailiff wrote a makefile for building Solaris packages.

- Sterling Hughes brought fixes for 'buildconf' (the build-from-CVS tool) and

  we discussed and added a few CURL_GLOBAL_* flags in include/curl.h

- Kjetil Jacobsen privately announced his python interface to libcurl,

  available at http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/

- Sterling Hughes fixed a strtok() problem in libcurl. It is not a thread-

  safe function. Now configure checks for a thread-safe version, and

  lib/strtok.c offers one for the systems that don't come with one included!

- Mettgut Jamalla correctly pointed out that the -# progress bar was written

  to stderr even though --stderr redirection was used. This is now corrected.

- I moved out the list of contributors from the curl.1 man page and made a

  separate docs/THANKS file. It makes the list easier to find, and made it

  easier for me to make a separate web page with that same information.

  I really do want all you guys mentioned in there to feel you get the credit

  you deserve.

- lib/easy.c didn't compile properly in the 7.8-pre1 due to a silly mistake

Version 7.8-pre1

- curl-config now supports '--vernum' that outputs a plain hexadecimal version

  of the libcurl version number (using 8 bits for each 3 numbers). Version

  *** UPGRADE NOTICE ***

  If you write applications using libcurl, you really want to use two

  If you write applications using libcurl, you really want to use the two

  functions mentioned above !!!

  I can't say I think this is a very beautiful solution, but as OpenSSL

  insists on making lots of stuff on a "global" scope, we're forced to dance

  to their pipe.

- Moving more test cases into the new file format.
