Title: after 7.26.0
Hi friends
As we've now gotten rid of the release, we once gain open the flood gates
for
new features to enter. We will now allow new features getting in during the
coming month.
I especially want to point out and work with the following features to get
merged soon:
1 - the new auth callback for libcurl, by Joe Mason
2 - metalink support for curl, by Tatsuhiro Tsujikaw (note that this is not
for libcurl)
3 - schannel support for libcurl, by Marc Hoersken
... but I'm not closing the door for others or other features, so please
show
us what you have as soon as possible if you want it get merged for the next
release.
Thanks for flying curl!
