I'm happy to announce the release of curl and libcurl 7.7. This time, we offer
a package that is more technically advanced than it ever was before.

Get the curl 7.7 package from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html. As usual,
allow some time before the popular binary archives are up-to-date with this.

This release includes the following high-lights:

 o Persistant connection support. (lib)curl now offers multiple transfers on
   the same connection(s). This also made libcurl offer multiple file
   transfers.
 o libcurl speaks HTTP/1.1 lingo now
 o HTTP proxy with IPv6 support added
 o The .netrc parser finds the home directory better
 o Fixed a crash that could happen with redirects and authentication
 o Improved random seeding for SSL connections
 o Improved TELNET functionality
 o The Curl::easy perl interface is included in the release archive
 o curl_escape and curl_unescape are now part of the official libcurl interface

This release would not have looked like this without help, reports and advice
from these friendly people:

 Christian Robottom Reis, Larry Fahnoe, Lars Torben Wilson, Edin Kadribaic,
 Björn Stenberg, Jörn Hartroth, Guenole Bescon, Wilfredo Sanchez, Douglas
 R. Horner, Linus Nielsen Feltzing, Bob Schader, Rich Gray, Rick Jones, Johan
 Nilsson, Bjorn Reese, Andrés García, Jim Drash.
