Other curl-related news since the previous public release:

 o Andrés García released TclCurl 0.10.5
   http://personal1.iddeo.es/andresgarci/tclcurl/english/

 o Troy Engel, our long-time friend and RPM packager of curl, is considering
   to abandon Redhat Linux and might thus soon cease to provide RPM packages
   of curl. If you feel you're up to shouldering his burden, step forward and
   make yourself known!

 o The CVS respository has moved and is now hosted by php.net. Read all
   details here: http://curl.haxx.se/cvs.html
