+ History of Changes
+
+
+Version 7.9.5
+
+Daniel (7 March 2002)
+- Added docs/KNOWN_BUGS to the release archive.
+
+Daniel (6 March 2002)
+- Kevin Roth corrected a flaw in the curl client globbing code that made it
+ mess up backslashes. This was most notable on windows (cygwin) machines when
+ using file://.
+
+- Brad provided another fix for building outside the source-tree.
+
+- Ralph Mitchell patched away a few compiler warnings in tests/server/sws.c
+
+Daniel (5 March 2002)
+- I noticed that the typedef in curl.h for the progress callback prototype was
+ wrong and thus applications that used it would not get the proper input
+ data. It used size_t where the implementation actually uses doubles!
+
+ I wish I could blame someone else, but this was my fault. Again.
+
+Version 7.9.5-pre6
+
+Daniel (4 March 2002)
+- Cut off the changes done during 2001 from this changelog file and put them
+ in a separate file (CHANGES.2001), available from CVS of course.
+
+- I removed the multi directory. The example sources were moved to the
+ docs/examples directory where they belong.
+
+- Wrote 7 new man pages for the current functions in the new multi interface.
+ They're all still pretty basic, but we can use them as a start and add more
+ contents to them when we figure out what to write. The large amount of man
+ pages for libcurl now present made me decide to put them in a new separate
+ subdirectory in the docs directory. Named libcurl.
+
+- Giuseppe Corbelli provided a template file for the EPM package manager, it
+ gets generated nicely by the configure script now.
+
+Version 7.9.5-pre5
+
+Daniel (1 March 2002)
+- Moved the memanalyze.pl script into the tests/ dir and added it to the
+ release archives. It was previously only present in the CVS tree.
+
+- Modified the February 17th Host: fix, as bug report #523718 pointed out that
+ it caused crashes!
+
+- Nico Baggus added more error codes to the VMS stuff.
+
+- Wesley Laxton brought the code that introduced the new CURLOPT_PREQUOTE
+ option. It is just another FTP quote option that allows the user to specify
+ a list of FTP commands to issue *just before* the transfer command (RETR or
+ STOR etc). It has turned up a few systems that really need this.
+
+ The curl command line tool can also take advantage of this by prefixing the
+ quote commands with a plus (+) in similar style that post transfer quote
+ commands are specified.
+
+ This is not yet documented. There is no test case for this yet.
+
+Daniel (28 February 2002)
+- Ralph Mitchell made some serious efforts and put a lot of sweat in setting
+ up scripts and things for me to be able to repeat his problems, and I
+ finally could. I found a problem with the header byte counter that wasn't
+ increased properly and thus we could return CURLE_GOT_NOTHING when we in
+ fact had received data.
+
+Daniel (27 February 2002)
+- I had to revert the non-space parsing cookie fix I posted to the mailing
+ list. Expire dates do have spaces and still need to get parsed properly!
+ Instead we just ignore trailing white space and it seems to work...
+
+Daniel (26 February 2002)
+- Made the cookie property 'Max-Age' work, just since we already tried to
+ support it, it is better to do it right. No one uses this anyway.
+
+- The cookie parser could crash if a really weird (illegal) cookie line was
+ received. I also made it better discard really oddly formatted lines better.
+
+ Made the cookie jar store the second field from the left using the syntax
+ that Netscape and Mozilla probably like. Curl itself ignores it.
+
+ Added test case 31 for these cases.
+
+ Clay Loveless' email regarding some cookie issues started my cleanup.
+
+- Kevin Roth pointed out that my automake fiddles broke the ability to build
+ outside the source-tree and I posted a patch to the mailing list that brings
+ this ability back.
+
+Version 7.9.5-pre4
+
+Daniel (25 February 2002)
+- Fiddled with the automake files to make all source files in the lib
+ directory not have ../src in the include path, and the src sources shouldn't
+ have ../lib!
+
+- All 79 test cases ran OK under Linux and Solaris using the new HTTP server
+ in the test suite. The new HTTP server was first donated by Georg Horn and
+ subsequently modified to work with the test suite. It is currently still not
+ portable enough to run on "all over" but this is a start and I can run all
+ curl tests on my machines. This is an important requirement for the upcoming
+ public release.
+
+- Using -d and -I on the same command line now reports an error, as it implies
+ two different HTTP requests that can't be mixed.
+
+- Jeffrey Pohlmeyer provided a patch that made the -w/--write-out option
+ support %{content_type} to get the content type of the recent download.
+
+- Kevin Roth reported that pre2 and pre3 didn't compile properly on cygwin,
+ and this was because I used #ifdef HAVE_WINSOCK_H in lib/multi.h to figure
+ out if we could include winsock.h which turns out not to be a wise choice to
+ do on cygwin since it has the file but can't include it!
+
+Daniel (22 February 2002)
+- Added src/config-vms.h to the release archive.
+
+- Fixed the connection timeout value again, the change from February 18 wasn't
+ complete.
+
+Version 7.9.5-pre3
+
+Daniel (21 February 2002)
+- Kevin Roth and Andrés García both found out that lib/config.h.in was missing
+ in the pre-release archive and thus the configure script failed.
+
+Version 7.9.5-pre2
+
+Daniel (20 February 2002)
+- Andrés García provided a solution to bug report #515228. the total time
+ counter was not set correctly when -I was used during some conditions (all
+ headers were read in one single read).
+
+- Nico Baggus provided a huge patch with minor tweaks all over to make curl
+ compile nicely on VMS.
+
+Daniel (19 February 2002)
+- Rick Richardson found out that by replacing PF_UNSPEC with PF_INET in the
+ getaddrinfo() calls, he could speed up some name resolving calls with an
+ order of magnitudes on his Redhat Linux 7.2.
+
+- Philip Gladstone found a second INADDR_NONE problem where we used long
+ intead of in_addr_t which caused 64bit problemos. We really shouldn't define
+ that on two different places.
+
+Daniel (18 February 2002)
+- Philip Gladstone found a problem in how HTTP requests were sent if the
+ request couldn't be sent all at once.
+
+- Emil found and corrected a bad connection timeout comparison that made curl
+ use the longest of connect-timeout and timout as a timeout value, instead of
+ the shortest as it was supposed to!
+
+- Aron Roberts provided updated information about LDAP URL syntax to go into
+ the manual as a replacement for the old references.
+
+Daniel (17 February 2002)
+- Philip Gladstone pointed out two missing include files that made curl core
+ dump on 64bit architectures. We need to pay more attention on these details.
+ It is *lethal* to for example forget the malloc() prototype, as 'int' is
+ 32bit and malloc() must return a 64bit pointer on these platforms.
+
+- Giaslas Georgios fixed a problem with Host: headers on repeated requests on
+ the same handle using a proxy.
+
+Daniel (8 February 2002)
+- Hanno L. Kranzhoff accurately found out that disabling the Expect: header
+ when doing multipart formposts didn't work very well. It disabled other
+ parts of the request header too, resulting in a broken header. When I fixed
+ this, I also noticed that the Content-Type wasn't possible to disable. It is
+ now, even though it probably is really stupid to try to do this (because of
+ the boundary string that is included in the internally generated header,
+ used as form part separator.)
+
+Daniel (7 February 2002)
+- I moved the config*.h files from the root directory to the lib/ directory.
+
+- I've added the new test suite HTTP server to the CVS repository, It seems to
+ work pretty good now, but we must make it get used by the test scripts
+ properly and then we need to make sure that it compiles, builds and runs on
+ most operating systems.
+
+Version 7.9.5-pre1
+
+Daniel (6 February 2002)
+- Miklos Nemeth provided updated windows makefiles and INSTALL docs.
+
+- Mr Larry Fahnoe found a problem with formposts and I managed to track down
+ and patch this bug. This was actually two bugs, as the posted size was also
+ said to be two bytes too large.
+
+- Brent Beardsley found out and brought a correction for the
+ CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE parser that was off one byte. This was my fault, I
+ accidentaly broke Giaslas Georgios' patch.
+
+Daniel (5 February 2002)
+- Kevin Roth found yet another SSL download problem.
+
+Version 7.9.4
+
+- no changes since pre-release
+
+Version 7.9.4-pre2
+
+Daniel (3 February 2002)
+- Eric Melville provided a few spelling corrections in the curl man page.
+
+Daniel (1 February 2002)
+- Andreas Damm corrected the unconditional use of gmtime() in getdate, it now
+ uses gmtime_r() on all hosts that have it.
+
+Daniel (31 January 2002)
+- An anonymous bug report identified a problem in the DNS caching which made it
+ sometimes allocate one byte too little to store the cache entry in. This
+ happened when the port number started with 1!
+
+- Albert Chin provided a patch that improves the gethostbyname_r() configure
+ check on HP-UX 11.00.
+
+Version 7.9.4-pre1
+
+Daniel (30 January 2002)
+- Georg Horn found another way the SSL reading failed due to the non-blocking
+ state of the sockets! I fixed.
+
+Daniel (29 January 2002)
+- Multipart formposts now send the full request properly, including the CRLF.
+ They were previously treated as part of the post data.
+
+- The upload byte counter bugged.
+
+- T. Bharath pointed out that we seed SSL on every connect, which is a time-
+ consuming operation that should only be needed to do once. We patched
+ libcurl to now only seed on the first connect when unseeded. The seeded
+ status is global so it'll now only happen once during a program's life time.
+
+ If the random_file or egdsocket is set, the seed will be re-made though.
+
+- Giaslas Georgios introduced CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE that lets
+ curl_easy_getinfo() read the content-type from the previous request.
+
+Daniel (28 January 2002)
+- Kjetil Jacobsen found a way to crash curl and after much debugging, it
+ turned out it was a IPv4-linux only problem introduced in 7.9.3 related to
+ name resolving.
+
+- Andreas Damm posted a huge patch that made the curl_getdate() function fully
+ reentrant!
+
+- Steve Marx pointed out that you couldn't mix CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST with
+ CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS. You can now!
+
+Daniel (25 January 2002)
+- Krishnendu Majumdar pointed out that the header length counter was not reset
+ between multiple requests on the same handle.
+
+- Pedro Neves rightfully questioned why curl always append \r\n to the data
+ that is sent in HTTP POST requests. Unfortunately, this broke the test suite
+ as the test HTTP server is lame enough not to deal with this... :-O
+
+- Following Location: headers when the connection didn't close didn't work as
+ libcurl didn't properly stop reading. This problem was added in 7.9.3 due to
+ the restructured internals. 'Frank' posted a bug report about this.
+
+Daniel (24 January 2002)
+- Kevin Roth very quickly spotted that we wrongly installed the example
+ programs that were built in the multi directory, when 'make install' was
+ used. :-/
+
+Version 7.9.3
+
+Daniel (23 January 2002)
+- Andrés García found a persistancy problem when doing HTTP HEAD, that made
+ curl "hang" until the connection was closed by the server. This problem has
+ been introduced in 7.9.3 due to internal rewrites, this was not present in
+ 7.9.2.
+
+Version 7.9.3-pre4
+
+Daniel (19 January 2002)
+- Antonio filed bug report #505514 and provided a fix! When doing multipart
+ formposts, libcurl would include an error text in the actual post if a
+ specified file wasn't found. This is not libcurl's job. Instead we add an
+ empty part.
+
+Daniel (18 January 2002)
+- Played around with stricter compiler warnings for gcc (when ./configure
+ --enable-debug is used) and changed some minor things to stop the warnings.
+
+- Commented out the 'long long' and 'long double' checks in configure.in, as
+ we don't currently use them anyway and the code in lib/mprintf.c that use
+ them causes warnings.
+
+- Saul Good and jonatan pointed out Mac OS X build problems with pre3 and how
+ to correct them. Two compiler warnings were removed as well.
+
+- Andrés García fixed two minor mingw32 building problems.
+
+Version 7.9.3-pre3
+
+Daniel (17 January 2002)
+- docs/libcurl-the-guide is a new tutorial for our libcurl programming
+ friends.
+
+- Richard Archer brought back the ability to compile and build with OpenSSL
+ versions before 0.9.5.
+ [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100976&aid=504163&group_id=976]
+
+- The DNS cache code didn't take the port number into account, which made it
+ work rather bad on IPv6-enabled hosts (especially when doing passive
+ FTP). Sterling fixed it.
+
+Daniel (16 January 2002)
+- Georg Horn could make a transfer time-out without error text. I found it and
+ corrected it.
+
+- SSL writes didn't work, they return an uninitialized value that caused
+ havoc all over. Georg Horn experienced this.
+
+- Kevin Roth patched the curl_version() function to use the proper OpenSSL
+ function for version information. This way, curl will report the version of
+ the SSL library actually running right now, not the one that had its headers
+ installed when libcurl was built. Mainly intersting when running with shared
+ OpenSSL libraries.
+
+Version 7.9.3-pre2
+
+Daniel (16 January 2002)
+- Mofied the main transfer loop and related stuff to deal with non-blocking
+ sockets in the upload section. While doing this, I've now separated the
+ connection oriented buffers to have one for downloads and one for uploads
+ (as two can happen simultaneously). I also shrunk the buffers to 20K
+ each. As we have a scratch buffer twice the size of the upload buffer, we
+ arrived at 80K for buffers compared with the previous 150K.
+
+- Added the --cc option to curl-config command as it enables so very cool
+ one-liners. Have a go a this one, building the simple.c example:
+
+ $ `curl-config --cc --cflags --libs` -o example simple.c
+
+Daniel (14 January 2002)
+- I made all socket reads (recv) handle EWOULDBLOCK. I hope nicely. Now we
+ only need to address all writes (send) too and then I'm ready for another
+ pre-release...
+
+- Stoned Elipot patched the in_addr_t configure test to make it work better on
+ more platforms.
+
+Daniel (9 January 2002)
+- Cris Bailiff found out that filling up curl's SSL session cache caused a
+ crash!
+
+- Posted the curl questionnaire on the web site. If you haven't posted your
+ opinions there yet, go there and do it now while it is still there:
+
+ http://curl.haxx.se/q/
+
+- Georg Horn quickly found out that the SSL reading no longer worked as
+ supposed since the switch to non-blocking sockets. I've made a quick patch
+ (for reading only) but we should improve it even further.
+
+Version 7.9.3-pre1
+
+Daniel (7 January 2002)
+- I made the 'bool' typedef use an "unsigned char". It makes it the same on
+ all platforms, no matter what the platform thinks the default format for
+ char is. This was noticed since we made a silly comparison involving such a
+ bool variable, and only one compiler/platform combination (on Debian Linux)
+ complained about it (that happened to have its char unsigned by default).
+
+- Bug report #495290 identified a cookie parsing problem that was corrected.
+ When a Set-Cookie: line is received without a trailing semicolon, libcurl
+ didn't read the last "name=value" pair of the line, leading to confusions...
+
+- Sterling committed his updated DNS cache code.
+
+- I worked with Georg Horn and comments from Götz Babin-Ebell and switched
+ curl's socket operations completely over to non-blocking for the entire
+ operation (previously we used non-blocking only for the connection phase).
+ We had to do this to make the SSL connection phase timeout properly without
+ the use of signals. A little extra code to deal with this was added.
+
+- T. Bharath pointed out a slightly obscure cookie engine flaw.
+
+- Pete Su pointed out that libcurl didn't treat HTTP code 204 as it should.
+ 204-replies never provides a response-body. This resulted in bad persistant
+ behavior when 204 was received.
+
+Daniel (5 January 2002)
+- SM updated the VC++ library Makefiles for the new source files.
+
+Daniel (4 January 2002)
+- I discovered that we wrongly used inet_ntoa() (instead of inet_ntoa_r() in
+ two places in the source code). One happened with VERBOSE set on connects,
+ and the other when VERBOSE was on and krb4 over nat was used... I honestly
+ don't think anyone has suffered from these mistakes.
+
+- I replaced a lot of silly occurances of printf() to instead use the more
+ appropriate Curl_infof() or Curl_failf(). The krb4 and telnet code were
+ affected.
+
+- Philip Gladstone found a few more problems with 64-bit archs (the 64-bit
+ sparc on solaris 8).
+
+- After discussions on the libcurl list with Raoul Cridlig, I just made FTP
+ response lines get passed to the header callback if such a one is
+ registered. It'll make it possible for any application to get all the
+ responses an FTP server sends to libcurl.
+
+Daniel (3 January 2002)
+- Sterling Hughes brought a few buckets of code. Now, libcurl will
+ automatically cache DNS lookups and re-use the previous results first if any
+ such is available. It greatly improves speed when doing many repeated
+ operations to the same host.
+
+- As the test case uses --include and then --head, I had to modify src/main.c
+ to deal with this situation slightly better than previously. When done, we
+ have 100% good tests again in the main branch.
+
+Daniel (2 January 2002)
+- Made test case 25 run again in the multi-dev branch. But it seems that the
+ changes done on dec-20 made test case 104 cease to work (in both branches).
+
+- Philip Gladstone pointed out a few portability problems in the source code
+ that didn't compile on 64-bit sparcs using Sun's native \ No newline at end of file
