• Refactored constant handling and added thorough testing for it.
• Fixed CURLOPT_PRIVATE, it is now a string and can be set/get accordingly.

4.14 Sun Oct 24 2010: - Balint Szilakszi <szbalint at cpan.org>

• Scalar references can now be used to receive body/header data [gfx].

• Documentation improvements.

4.13 Wed Sep 01 2010: - Balint Szilakszi <szbalint at cpan.org>

• Fixed WWW::Curl::Form (again, formadd and formaddfile working now).
• Made constant constant handling more robust and added tests [Fuji, Goro].
• Modernized *.pm and AUTOLOAD now throws an error on unknown method calls [Fuji, Goro].

4.12 Sun Jun 04 2010: - Balint Szilakszi <szbalint at cpan.org>

• Fixed WWW::Curl::Form (patch contributed by Michael Ing).
• Added CURLPROXY_* constants (patch by claes).
• Added the const_string method to provide access to constants in a non-bareword way.

4.10 Fri Dec 18 2009: - Balint Szilakszi <szbalint at cpan.org>

• Added support for CURLINFO_SLIST in getinfo (patch by claes).
• Merging documentation fixes upstream from the FreeBSD port (thanks Peter).
• Added support for curl_multi_fdset.

4.09 Thu Jul 09 2009: - Balint Szilakszi <szbalint at cpan.org>

• Fixing broken version check.

4.08 Tue Jul 07 2009: - Balint Szilakszi <szbalint at cpan.org>

• Fixed a memory leak in setopt.
• Added a check to Makefile.PL for the minimum libcurl version.
• Mentioned WWW::Curl hosting on github.
• Upgraded bundled Module::Install to 0.91.

4.07 Sun May 31 2009: - Balint Szilakszi <szbalint at cpan.org>

• Fixed >32bit integer option passing to libcurl on 32bit systems. (Thanks to Peter Heuchert for the report and fix suggestion!)
• The CURL_CONFIG environment variable can now be used to specify which curl-config to use (contributed by claes).
• Fixed segfault when a string option with setopt was set to undef (contributed by claes).
• Fixed incomplete cleanup routine at destruction time (contributed by claes).
• Readded Easy.pm and Share.pm stubs so that they are indexed by CPAN, thus avoiding complications with outdated versions appearing.

4.06 Sun Apr 05 2009: - Balint Szilakszi <szbalint at cpan.org>

• Fixed a setopt issue that could cause a setopt string to get corrupted with pre 7.17.0 libcurl versions. (Thanks to Andreas Marienborg for the excellent bugreport and testcase!)
• Made the Makefile.PL curl.h parsing slightly more generic to detect a wider selection of constants (fixes debian bugs #519841 and #518942). This makes it possible to use CURLE_ and CURL_NETRC_ constants.

3.02_00 Fri Sep 16 2005: - Cris Bailiff <c.bailiff+curl at devsecure.com>

• Workaround case-sensitive filename issues by making equivalent Easy names in easy namespace
• Test scripts - Fixup ssl tests and remove leftover MUTE option
• NOTE: That due to namespace changes (easy->Easy) you must change any existing code to 'use WWW::Curl::Easy' instead of 'use WWW::Curl::easy', but you can still use the WWW::Curl::easy function names until they are removed in a future release.
• Tested on Redhat EL3 (curl 7.10.6) and Mandrake 10.1 (curl 7.13.1)

1.35 Sun Sep 22 2002: - Cris Bailiff <c.bailiff+curl at devsecure.com>

• Fixed progress function callback prototype [ curl-Bugs-612432 ], reflecting the fix made in curl-7.9.5. Tested in t/05progress.t to now return sensible values!

1.34 Wed Aug 7 2002: - Cris Bailiff <c.bailiff+curl at devsecure.com>

• Fix off-by-one error in setting up of curl_slists from perl arrays, which was causing the last item of slists to be dropped. Added regression test case.

1.33 Mon Aug 5 2002: - Cris Bailiff <c.bailiff+curl at devsecure.com>

• Fix serious bug in read callback support (used for POST and upload requests), introduced in 1.30, which uploaded random data (due to a reversed src/dest in a memory copy).

1.32 Thu Aug 1 2002: - Cris Bailiff <c.bailiff+curl at devsecure.com>

• Minor Makefile.PL fixes to build cleanly with curl 7.8 as found on redhat 7.2.

1.31 Tue Jul 16 2002: - Cris Bailiff <c.bailiff+curl at devsecure.com>

• Generate better switch() statement syntax in C code, to fix build issues on some systems with strict compilers. Reported by Ignasi Roca.

1.30 Mon Jul 15 2002: - Cris Bailiff <c.bailiff+curl at devsecure.com>

• Testing release after complete code overhaul. Now supports cleaner object interface, supports multiple handles per process, uses PerlIO for portable I/O (which should be perl 5.8 ready) and maybe even supports ithreads. Should be fully backwards compatible, but please read the man page for change details and report any issues.
• Fixed warning caused by slist functions accessing past the end of the perl array.
• Fixed leak caused by consuming slist arguments without freeing.
• Updates test scripts to OO style, cleaned up output.
• Deprecated USE_INTERNAL_VARS.

1.21 Thu Jul 11 2002: - Cris Bailiff <c.bailiff+curl at devsecure.com>

• Minor fixes to assist windows builds from Shawn Poulson
• Allow passing curl include location on the command line when running perl Makefile.PL

1.20 Sat Feb 16 2002: - Cris Bailiff <c.bailiff+curl at devsecure.com>

• Use standard perl module numbering syntax (valid decimal)
• Skipped 1.10 in case anyone confuses it with 1.1.0
• Made every build a rebuild and removed 'pre-built' files - no point worrying about not finding curl.h - if we can't find it, we can't compile anyway. Obviates bug in 1.1.9 preventing rebuilds.
• Add support for redefining CURLOPT_STDERR (file handle globs only!)

1.1.9 Sat Dec 8 2001: - Cris Bailiff <c.bailiff+curl at devsecure.com>

• Enhance Makefile.PL to re-build easy.pm and 'constants' xs function from local installed curl.h. CURLOPT_ and CURLINFO_ Constants up-to-date for libcurl-7.9.2, but can be re-built for almost any libcurl version by removing easy.pm and curlopt-constants.c and re-running 'perl Makefile.PL'
• Use curl-config to find include and library compile options
• Updated test scripts to work better under 'make test' (You need to set the environment variable 'CURL_TEST_URL' though!)
• Added test script to display transfer times using new time options
• Merge changes in Curl_easy 1.1.2.1 by Georg Horn

1.1.8 Thu Sep 20 2001: - Cris Bailiff <c.bailiff+curl at devsecure.com>

• Re-generate CURLOPT_ constants from curl.h and enhance makefile to allow this to be repeated in future or for older versions of libcurl. Constants up-to-date for libcurl-7.9(pre)
• Split tests into t/*.t to simplify each case
• Add test cases for new SSL switches. This needs ca-bundle.crt (from mod_ssl) for verifying test cases.

1.1.7 Thu Sep 13 2001: - Cris Bailiff <c.bailiff+curl at devsecure.com>

• Documentation Update only - Explicitly state that Curl_easy is released under the MIT-X/MPL dual licence. No code changes.

1.1.6 Mon Sep 10 2001: - Cris Bailiff <c.bailiff+curl at devsecure.com>

• Fix segfault due to changes in header callback behaviour since curl-7.8.1-pre3

1.1.5 Fri Apr 20 2001: - Cris Bailiff <c.bailiff+curl at devsecure.com>

• Add latest CURLOPT_ and CURLINFO_ constants to the constants list

1.1.4 Fri Apr 20 2001: - Cris Bailiff <c.bailiff+curl at devsecure.com>

• Fix case where curl_slists such as 'HTTPHEADERS' need to be re-set over persistant requests

1.1.3 Wed Apr 18 2001: - Cris Bailiff <c.bailiff+curl at devsecure.com>

• Change/shorten module function names: Curl::easy::curl_easy_setopt becomes Curl::easy::setopt etc. This requires minor changes to existing scripts....
• Added callback function support to pass arbitrary SV * (including FILE globs) from perl through libcurl to the perl callback.
• Make callbacks still work with existing scripts which use STDIO
• Initial support for libcurl 7.7.2 HEADERFUNCTION callback feature
• Minor API cleanups/changes in the callback function signatures
• Added Curl::easy::version function to return curl version string
• Callback documentation added in easy.pm
• More tests in test.pl

1.1.2 Mon Apr 16 2001: - Georg Horn <horn at koblenz-net.de>

• Added support for callback functions. This is for the curl_easy_setopt() options WRITEFUNCTION, READFUNCTION, PROGRESSFUNCTION and PASSWDFUNCTION. Still missing, but not really neccessary: Passing a FILE * pointer, that is passed in from libcurl, on to the perl callback function.
• Various cleanups, fixes and enhancements to easy.xs and test.pl.

1.1.1 Thu Apr 12 2001:

• Made more options of curl_easy_setopt() work: Options that require a list of curl_slist structs to be passed in, like CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, are now working by passing a perl array containing the list elements. As always, look at the test script test.pl for an example.

1.1.0 Wed Apr 11 2001:

• tested against libcurl 7.7
• Added new function Curl::easy::internal_setopt(). By calling Curl::easy::internal_setopt(Curl::easy::USE_INTERNAL_VARS, 1); the headers and content of the fetched page are no longer stored into files (or written to stdout) but are stored into internal Variables $Curl::easy::headers and $Curl::easy::content.

1.0.2 Tue Oct 10 2000:

• runs with libcurl 7.4
• modified curl_easy_getinfo(). It now calls curl_getinfo() that has been added to libcurl in version 7.4.

1.0.1 Tue Oct 10 2000:

• Added some missing features of curl_easy_setopt():
  • CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER now works by passing the name of a perl variable that shall be crated and the errormessage (if any) be stored to.
  • Passing filehandles (Options FILE, INFILE and WRITEHEADER) now works. Have a look at test.pl to see how it works...
• Added a new function, curl_easy_getinfo(), that for now always returns the number of bytes that where written to disk during the last download. If the curl_easy_getinfo() function is included in libcurl, (as promised by Daniel ;-)) i will turn this into just a call to this function.

1.0 Thu Oct 5 2000:

• first released version
• runs with libcurl 7.3
• some features of curl_easy_setopt() are still missing:
  • passing function pointers doesn't work (options WRITEFUNCTION, READFUNCTION and PROGRESSFUNCTION).
  • passing FILE * pointers doesn't work (options FILE, INFILE and WRITEHEADER).
  • passing linked lists doesn't work (options HTTPHEADER and HTTPPOST).
  • setting the buffer where to store error messages in doesn't work (option ERRORBUFFER).
