This release includes the following changes:

 o support for Content-Encoding: gzip was added
 o test cases modified to include server requirement in each test case file
 o CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT was added, --disable-eprt with the tool
 o setting CURLOPT_ENCODING to "" automaticly enables all supported encodings

This release includes the following bugfixes:

 o libcurl now calls the progress meter during slow ftp responses as well
 o a write loop resulting in badly updated progress meter was fixed
 o non-blocking sockets fix for PORT ftp downloads
 o CURLOPT_INTERFACE performance fix on Linux
 o EAGAIN-fix improves HPUX (at least) functionality
 o configure script fix for the writable argv check and cross-compiles
 o features more verbose error message when some OpenSSL read errors occur
 o improved ftp compliance with RFC1738, now performs individual CWD commands
   for each path part in the URL
 o cookie overhaul: fixed jarsaving, improved path treatment and stricter
   cookie receiving, adjusts to Hosts: headers
 o CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME works with the multi interface too
 o curl_easy_setopt() now returns correct error codes
 o formposting .html files set Content-Type text/html now
 o curl reports a new huge and verbose error message on CA cert problems
 o libcurl now returns CURLE_SSL_CACERT on CA cert problems
 o chunked-transfer deflate downloads work
 o FTP-server responses to CWD are now more liberally treated
 o fixed url parsing when '?' is used after the host name without '/'.
 o curl -I on ftp files outputs the date with correct time zone (GMT)
 o curl -z now works for FTP files (CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION)
 o the default DEBUGFUNCTION outputs incoming headers as well
 o Content-Type extraction did wrong if there was no space after the colon
 o the MSVC project file was fixed
 o no longer installs the ca bundle when built --without-ssl
 o the boundary strings in formposts now look very similar to the ones IE
   uses
 o test suite runs on cygwin

Other curl-related news since the previous public release:

 o Kjetil Jacobsen released pycurl-7.10.4
   http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/

 o Andrés García released TclCurl 0.10.4

 o Cris Bailiff released WWW::Curl 2.0 (now also available on CPAN)
   http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/perl/

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

 Vlad Krupin, Dan Fandrich, Nic Hines, Peter Sylvester, Peter Kovacs, David
 Balazic, Andy Cedilnik, Ben Greear, Kevin Delafield, Avery Fay, George
