curl didn't use sprintf() in a way that is documented to work in POSIX but
  since we use our own printf() code (from libcurl) that shouldn't be a
  problem. Nonetheless I modified the code to not rely on such particular
  features and to not cause further raised eyebrowse with no good reason.

more issues for authors to consider when writing robust libcurl-using
applications.

on curl-users, it is also added to DISABLED since I don't have time to work
on it further right now.

  whenever you attempt to open a new connection.

binary it also removes the include/curl subdir!

Options CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS and CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS, and associated definitions added to RPG binding

  (http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20090303.html also known as CVE-2009-0037) in
  which previous libcurl versions (by design) can be tricked to access an
  arbitrary local/different file instead of a remote one when
  CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. This flaw is now fixed in this release
  together this the addition of two new setopt options for controlling this
  new behavior:

  o CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS controls what protocols libcurl is allowed to
  follow to when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. By default, this option
  excludes the FILE and SCP protocols and thus you nee to explicitly allow
  them in your app if you really want that behavior.

  o CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS controls what protocol(s) libcurl is allowed to fetch
  using the primary URL option. This is useful if you want to allow a user or
  other outsiders control what URL to pass to libcurl and yet not allow all
  protocols libcurl may have been built to support.

too close to release now

218 - Senthil Raja Velu's "CURLOPT_LOCALPORT option broken", patch by
      Markus Koetter

Both are now committed

  CURLOPT_LOCALPORT were used together (the local port bind failed), and
  Markus Koetter provided the fix!

  curl_global_init() function to properly maintain the performing functions
  thread-safe. We've previously (28 April 2007) moved the init to a later time
  just to avoid it to fail very early when libgcrypt dislikes the situation,
  but that move was bad and the fix should rather be in libgcrypt or
  elsewhere.

without involving CVS:

diff -X diff-exclude -ru curl-old curl-patched

  It happened because the code used the struct for server-based auth all the
  time for both proxy and server auth which of course was wrong.

  CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD and CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD return
  -1 if the sizes aren't know. Previously these returned 0, make it impossible
  to detect the difference between actually zero and unknown.

220 - Take advantage of libssh2_version() that's been added for the upcoming
      1.1, to extract the run-time version number properly.

to build a Mac OS X fat ppc/i386 or ppc64/x86_64 libcurl.framework

  to the proper 'libcurl' as clearly this caused confusion.

files

  FTP with the multi interface: when a transfer fails, like when aborted by a
  write callback, the control connection was wrongly closed and thus not
  re-used properly.

  This change is also an attempt to cleanup the code somewhat in this area, as
  now the FTP code attempts to keep (better) track on pending responses
  necessary to get read in ftp_done().
