Hi friends!

I'm very happy to announce a bugfix release. Get the source package from
http://curl.haxx.se/download.html or from one of the many mirrors.

Curl and libcurl 7.12.1

  Public curl release number: 82
  Releases counted from the very beginning: 109
  Available command line options: 96
  Available curl_easy_setopt() options: 120
  Number of public functions in libcurl: 36
  Amount of public web site mirrors: 12
  Number of known libcurl bindings: 26

This release includes the following changes:

  o the version string now only contains info about (sub) package versions,
    while for example krb4 and ipv6 now only are available as 'features'
  o added curl_easy_reset()
  o socks proxy support even when libcurl is built ipv6-enabled
  o read callbacks can stop the transfer by returning CURL_READFUNC_ABORT
  o libcurl-tutorial.3 is the new man page formerly known as libcurl-the-guide
  o additional SSL trace data might be sent to the debug callback using two new
    types: CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_IN and CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_OUT
  o multipart formposts can upload files larger than system memory
  o the curl tool continues with the next URL even if one transfer fails
  o FTP 3rd party transfer support - seven new setopt() options

This release includes the following bugfixes:

  o UTF-8 encoded certificate names can now be verified properly
  o krb4 link problem
  o HTTP Negotiate service name now provided in uppercase
  o no longer accepts any cookies with domain set to just a TLD
  o HTTP Digest properties without quotes in the header
  o bad Host: header case on re-used connections over proxy
  o duplicate Host: header case on re-used connections
  o curl -o name#[num] now works when no globbing for [num] exists
  o test suite runs fine with valgrind 2.1.x
  o negative Content-Length is ignored
  o test 505 runs fine on windows
  o curl_share_cleanup() crash
  o --trace files now get the final info lines too
  o multi interface connects fine to multi-IP resolving hosts
  o --limit-rate works on Mac OS X (and other systems with bad poll()s)
  o cookies can now hold 4999 bytes of content
  o HTTP POST/PUT with NTLM/Digest/Negotiate to a URL returning 3XX
  o HTTPS POST/PUT over a proxy requiring NTLM/Digest/Negotiate
  o less restrictive libidn requirements, 0.4.1 or later is fine
  o HTTP POST or PUT with Digest/Negotiate/NTLM selected but the server
    didn't require any authentication
  o win32 file:// transfer free memory bug
  o configure --disable-http builds a libcurl without HTTP support
  o CURLOPT_FILETIME had wrong type in curl.h, it expects a long argument
  o builds fine with Borland on Windows
  o the msvc curllib.dsp now builds the libcurl.lib file
  o builds fine on VMS
  o builds fine on NetWare
  o HTTP Digest authentication with proxies uses correct user name + password
  o builds fine with lcc-win32
