Curl and libcurl 7.9.2 is out! This is mainly a bugfix release.

Get curl 7.9.2 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 changes:

 o compiles and builds on the good old Mac OS (in addition to Mac OS X)
 o bugfixed persistant connections over proxy with multiple protocols
 o --disable-epsv is a new option to the curl command line tool
 o bugfixed verbose ftp output on Tru64 unix
 o added CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPSV
 o passive ftp download works with IPv6
 o always return proper error code on failed connects
 o bugfixed the FTP response reader, twice!
 o bugfixed verbose telnet
 o added CURLINFO_STARTTRANSFER_TIME
 o bugfixed conditional HTTP fetches based on time
 o multiple calls to curl_global_init() is now treated better
 o bugfixed multiple persistant ftp requests
 o made -p/--proxytunnel work for plain HTTP as well
 o bugfixed the "current speed" progress meter
 o improved the name resolver function configure-check
 o libcurl now restores signal handlers and timeouts properly
 o improved SSL over HTTP-proxy when using "weird" proxies(!)
 o added the -1/--TLSv1 option
 o bugfixed LDAP transfers

Other curl-related news since the previous public release:

 o Started development of the "multi" interface to libcurl. Stay tuned for
   more details. Discuss this on the libcurl mailing list! Some details:
        http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/future.html

 o Kjetil Jacobsen announced verion 0.4.4 of the Python interface:
        http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/

 o Andrés García released version 0.9 of the Tcl interface:
        http://personal1.iddeo.es/andresgarci/tclcurl/english/index.html

 o Kirill Lisovsky has written a curl interface for Bigloo, which is a Scheme
   interpreter. You find more info here:
        http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/scheme/

I firmly believe that this is the best version of curl released so far.

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

 Ramana Mokkapati, John Lask, Enrik Berkhan, Kai-Uwe Rommel, Andrés García,
 Marcus Webster, Glen Scott, Kevin Roth, Ricardo Cadime, Bjorn Reese, Samuel
 Listopad, Klevtsov Vadim, Lars Gustafsson, Miklos Nemeth, Georg Horn,
 Moonesamy, Eric Lavigne, Hans Steegers, Dimitris Sarris, Heikki Korpela,
 Jon Travis

        Thanks! (and sorry if I forgot to mention someone)
