| A special thanks to: |
| |
| archivas.com and Alan Pinstein, for paying me to focus on their requests |
| |
| This release includes the following changes: |
| |
| o added ability to "upload" to file:// URLs |
| o added curl_global_init_mem() |
| o removed curl_formparse() |
| o the MSVC project file in the release archive is automatically built |

| o the Windows version of libcurl can use wldap32.dll for LDAP |
| o added curl_easy_strerror(), curl_multi_strerror() and curl_share_strerror() |
| o IPv6-enabled Windows hosts now resolves names threaded/asynch as well |
| o configure --with-libidn can be used to point out the root dir of a libidn |
| installation (version 0.4.5 or later) for curl to use, then libcurl can |
| resolve and use IDNA names (domain names with "international" letters) |
| |
| This release includes the following bugfixes: |
| |
| o incoming cookies with domains set with a prefixed dot now works better |
| o CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE and CURLOPT_COOKIE can be used in the same request |
| o improved peer certificate name verification |
| o allocation failures cause no leaks nor crashes |

| (which is as high a signed 64 bit number can reach) |
| o general HTTP authentication improvements |
| o HTTP Digest authentication with the proxy works |
| o mulipart formposting with -F and file names with spaces work again |
| o curl_easy_duphandle() now works when ares-enabled |
| o HTTP Digest authentication works a lot more like the RFC says |
| o curl works with telnet and stdin properly on Windows |
| o configure --without-ssl works even when pkg-config has OpenSSL details |
| o src/hugehelp.c builds correct again in non-configure build environments |
