This release includes the following changes:
o CURLOPT_INTERFACE works on windows now
o CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH was added to allow different authentication methods on
proxies (--proxy-ntlm was added to the curl tool).
o --ftp-create-dirs and CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS were added
o optional and still experimetal asynch name resolve support
o getting headers-only and no-body from FTP can now reply "Accept-Ranges"
if the server seems to suppport REST.
This release includes the following bugfixes:
o fixed a memory leak on re-used connections with proxy-authentication
o cookies with no contents are sent off too now
o 64bit-related bugfix for uploads
o file:// URLs with drive letters now work on windows and OS/2
o The output numbering (#[num]) on url globbing didn't work due to a bug
in curl_msprintf()
o FTP persistent download directory re-use problem fixed
o cookie parser now only requires two dots in cookie domain
o FOLLOWLOCATION (or -L) did not always ignore the redirect page properly
o information leak fixed. When proxy authentication is used in a CONNECT
request (as used for all SSL connects and otherwise enforced
tunnel-thru-proxy requests), the same authentication header was also
wrongly sent to the remote host.
o the VC++ Makefiles were updated
o builds better on VMS
o src/hugehelp.c is now distributed uncompressed in the source package
o the mkhelp script now compresses properly on DOS/Windows
Other curl-related news since the previous public release:
o Andreas Almroth announced adacurl, a libcurl binding for Ada95:

o Alex Andrienko of Tsuren.net hosts the new russian curl web site mirror
available at http://curl.tsuren.net/

advice from friends like these:
Gisle Vanem, Marty Kuhrt, Daniel Noguerol, Jörg Müller-Tolk, David Byron,
Mark Fletcher, Dirk Manske, Jan Sundin, Salvatore Sorrentino, Early Ehlinger,
