Curl and libcurl 7.15.0

A security-related fix is the most important change in this release. More info 
about that on http://curl.haxx.se/docs/security.html and in the soon upcoming 
advisory.

Download curl from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html or use the download 
wizard at http://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz/.

This release includes the following changes:

  o --ftp-skip-pasv-ip / CURLOPT_FTP_SKIP_PASV_IP (sponsored by CU*Answers)
  o TFTP support added

This release includes the following bugfixes:

  o user+domain name buffer overflow in the NTLM code (security flaw)
  o -z over FTP now considers equal timestamps "not modified since"
  o Weird characters removed from the configure script
  o Fixed time zone offsets for MEST and CEST for the time parser
  o HTTP Content-Range header parser crash
  o FTPS negotiation timeouts/errors
  o SSPI works even for Windows 9x
  o crash in --dump-header on FTP
  o test 56 runs better

Other curl-related news since the previous public release:

  o http://curl.freemirror.de/ is a new German mirror
  o All curl relatd mailing list information and subscribers on cool.haxx.se
    were lost due to a malicious user exploiting a security hole on the
    server. Attempts have been made to put back susbcribers on the lists, but
    many have been lost: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lost.html
  o New S-Lang binding: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/slang/
  o TclCurl 0.14.1: http://personal1.iddeo.es/andresgarci/tclcurl/english/
  o pycurl 7.14.1: http://pycurl.sf.net/

This release would not have looked like this without help, code, reports and
advice from friends like these:

  o John Kelly, Nicolas François, Scott Davis, Ben Madsen, Dmitry Bartsevich,
    David Yan, Michael Wallner, Domenico Andreoli, Darryl House

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