Curl and libcurl 7.10.7 is out! A bugfix release.

Download from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html. As usual, allow some time
before the popular binary archives are up-to-date with this release.

Get curl from your favorite mirror by using this service:
http://curl.haxx.se/latest.cgi

Make sure the files haven't been tampered with by the time they land in your
filesystem by using these MD5 sums:

0ff1bd283ad1e599666d768085d7c282  curl-7.10.7.tar.gz
19f2f77279cd5d3026c71997463db791  curl-7.10.7.tar.bz2
449b042aa9170f86229c6fa2f64ea1ad  curl-7.10.7.zip

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:
   http://www.almroth.com/adacurl/index.html

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

This release would not have looked like this without help, code, reports and
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,
 Duncan Wilcox, Serge Semashko, Mike Cherepov, Vincent Sanders

        Thanks! (and sorry if I forgot to mention someone)
