ANNOUNCE: curl 7.5
Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2000 09:54:03 +0100 (MET)
I'm proud to announce the existance of curl 7.5.
As usual, give the mirrors and binary packagers a little time, or go get the
source tarball from:
http://curl.haxx.se/download.html
Some of the highlights this time include:
* the shared libcurl library gets a proper version number now
* the MSVC++ makefiles are updated to work
* new --max-redirs option and corrresponding CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS libcurl
option.
* the test suite is much extened and enhanced
* supports any URL lengths
* --head on a ftp file shows the modification time if available
* libcurl now supports getting the time of a remote file
* --cacert lets you specify a CA certificate to verify peer certificates
against when doing HTTPS connections
* ftp CWD could use wrong directory name (with trailing slash)
* ftp transfer failure could leak memory
* curl_unescape() could return a too long string
* deals with lowercase environment variables for proxy settings
* corrected spelling in a few error messages
* curl_formfree() added to libcurl
* memory leaks removed
* added --url to allow URLs to be specified easier in the config file
* improved config file parser
* config file parser crash fixed
* � in HTTP usernames or passwords made bad authorization headers.
