			`Releases counted from the very beginning: 125`
- Ravi Pratap provided work on libcurl making pipelining more robust and fixing some bugs: o Don't mix GET and POST requests in a pipeline o Fix the order in which requests are dispatched from the pipeline o Fixed several curl bugs with pipelining when the server is returning chunked encoding: * Added states to chunked parsing for final CRLF * Rewind buffer after parsing chunk with data remaining * Moved chunked header initializing to a spot just before receiving headers 2007-02-22 00:59:40 +03:00			`Available command line options: 117`
- Shmulik Regev fixed so that the final CRLF of HTTP response headers are sent to the debug callback. - Shmulik Regev added CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING and CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING that if set to zero will disable libcurl's internal decoding of content or transfer encoded content. This may be preferable in cases where you use libcurl for proxy purposes or similar. The command line tool got a --raw option to disable both at once. 2007-02-13 00:13:47 +03:00			`Available curl_easy_setopt() options: 141`
curl_multi_assign() and CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION proto change 2006-07-27 02:25:00 +04:00			`Number of public functions in libcurl: 54`
Two new mirrors, but the total amount of mirrors still don't go up very much due to the frequent dying of mirrors... 2007-02-25 14:50:11 +03:00			`Amount of public web site mirrors: 38`
7.16.0 material 2006-10-30 02:03:14 +03:00			`Number of known libcurl bindings: 35`
curl_easy_reset() now resets the CA bundle path correctly 2007-01-28 15:58:13 +03:00			`Number of contributors: 539`
David Hull made the file: URL parser also accept the somewhat sloppy file syntax: file:/path. I added test case 203 to verify this. 2003-10-29 12:53:21 +03:00
Armel Asselin made the CURLOPT_PREQUOTE option work fine even when CURLOPT_NOBODY is set true. PREQUOTE is then run roughly at the same place in the command sequence as it would have run if there would've been a transfer. 2006-08-09 02:56:46 +04:00			`This release includes the following changes:`
Armel Asselin separated CA cert verification problems from problems with reading the (local) CA cert file to let users easier pinpoint the actual problem. CURLE_SSL_CACERT_BADFILE (77) is the new libcurl error code. 2006-10-21 15:32:05 +04:00
ftp@example.com is now the new anonymous FTP password. I opted for 'ftp' on the left side of @ to make it short(er). 2007-02-14 01:50:16 +03:00			`o added CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS`

New FTP CCC functionality - adds passive and active mode to accomodate for different server behaviour 2007-02-21 01:08:50 +03:00			`o changed the CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC option to handle active and passive`

cookie expiry date in several test cases set to year 2030/2035 2007-02-05 05:43:21 +03:00			`o in testsuite, update test cookies expiration from 2007-Feb-1 to year 2035`
- Yang Tse fixed the cookie expiry date in several test cases that started to fail since they used "1 feb 2007"... - Manfred Schwarb reported that socks5 support was broken and help us pinpoint the problem. The code now tries harder to use httproxy and proxy where apppropriate, as not all proxies are HTTP... 2007-02-03 12:34:03 +03:00			`o socks5 works`
ftp@example.com is now the new anonymous FTP password. I opted for 'ftp' on the left side of @ to make it short(er). 2007-02-14 01:50:16 +03:00			`o builds fine with VC2005`
- Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett and Michal Marek reported problems with resetting CURLOPT_RANGE back to no range on an easy handle when using FTP. 2007-02-16 18:37:05 +03:00			`o CURLOPT_RANGE set to NULL resets the range for FTP`
- Jeff Pohlmeyer identified two problems: first a rather obscure problem with the multi interface and connection re-use that could make a curl_multi_remove_handle() ruin a pointer in another handle. The second problem was less of an actual problem but more of minor quirk: the re-using of connections wasn't properly checking if the connection was marked for closure. 2007-02-19 02:02:42 +03:00			`o curl_multi_remove_handle() rare crash`
- Robson Braga Araujo made passive FTP transfers work with SOCKS (both 4 and 5). 2007-02-19 14:53:54 +03:00			`o passive FTP transfers work with SOCKS`
- Shmulik Regev found a memory leak in re-used HTTPS connections, at least when the multi interface was used. 2007-02-19 15:20:32 +03:00			`o multi interface HTTPS connection re-use memory leak`
Ian Turner fixed the libcurl.m4 macro's support for --with-libcurl. AC_PATH_PROG was not used properly. 2007-02-19 15:37:04 +03:00			`o libcurl.m4's --with-libcurl is improved`
Mention curl-config dependencies fix. 2007-02-20 00:50:03 +03:00			`o curl-config --libs and libcurl.pc no longer list unnecessary dependencies`
New FTP CCC functionality - adds passive and active mode to accomodate for different server behaviour 2007-02-21 01:08:50 +03:00			`o fixed an issue with CCC not working on some servers`

- Adam D. Moss made the HTTP CONNECT procedure less blocking when used from the multi interface. Note that it still does a part of the connection in a blocking manner. 2007-02-25 14:38:13 +03:00			`o HTTP CONNECT thru a proxy is now less blocking when the multi interface is`
			`used`

Rob Crittenden added support for NSS (Network Security Service) for the SSL/TLS layer. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/ 2007-02-13 01:32:37 +03:00			`Yang Tse, Manfred Schwarb, Michael Wallner, Jeff Pohlmeyer, Shmulik Regev,`
