This release includes the following changes:

  o CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY and CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET added
  o CURLOPT_LOCALPORT and CURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE (--local-port) added
  o Dropped support for the LPRT ftp command
  o Gopher is now officially abandoned as a protocol (lib)curl tries to support
  o curl_global_init() and curl_global_cleanup() are now using a refcount so
    that it is now legal to call them multiple times. See updated info for
    details

This release includes the following bugfixes:

  o two bugs concerning using curl_multi_remove_handle() before the transfer
    was complete
  o multi-pass authentication and compressed content
  o minor format string mistake in the GSS/Negotiate code
  o cached DNS entries could remain in the cache too long
  o improved GnuTLS check in configure
  o re-used FTP connections when the second request didn't do a transfer
  o plain --limit-rate [num] means bytes
  o re-creating a dead connection is no longer counted internally as a followed
    redirect and thus prevents a weird error that would occur if a FTP
    connection died on an attempted re-use
  o Try PASV after failing to connect to the port the EPSV response contained
  o -P [IP] with non-local address with ipv6-enabled curl
  o -P [hostname] with ipv6-disabled curl
  o libcurl.m4 was updated
  o configure no longer warns if the current path contains a space
  o test suite kill race condition
  o FTP_SKIP_PASV_IP and FTP_USE_EPSV when doing FTP over HTTP proxy
  o Doing a second request with FTP on the same bath path, would make libcurl
    confuse what current working directory it had
  o FTP over HTTP proxy now sends the second CONNECT properly
  o numerous compiler warnings and build quirks for various compilers have
    been addressed
  o supports name and passwords up to 255 bytes long, embedded in URLs
  o the HTTP_ONLY define disables the TFTP support
