David Hull made the file: URL parser also accept the somewhat sloppy file

                                  Changelog

Daniel (29 October)

- runtests.pl now checks for and use valgrind if present. It will redirect the

  valgrind results in log/valgrind[num] but it currently doesn't scan that

  file for any errors or anything, that is still only made manually.

- David Hull made the file: URL parser also accept the somewhat sloppy file

  syntax: file:/path. I added test case 203 to verify this.

Daniel (28 October)

- Dan C tracked down yet another weird behavior in the glibc gethostbyname_r()

  function for some specific versions (reported on 2.2.5 and 2.1.1), and

Curl and libcurl 7.10.8 is out! A bugfix release.

The 77th public curl release. Release number 104 counted from the very

beginning.

This release includes the following changes:

 o file: URLs with only one initial slash now works too

 o we include a RELEASE-NOTES document in the release archive to summarize

   the big and visible changes and bugfixes

 o CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE was added, and --max-filesize.

   * proxy -- and we don't know if we will need to use SSL until we parse the

   * url ...
