Changes:
7.43.0.6
--------
This release improves SSL backend detection on various systems, adds support
for libcurl's multiple SSL backend functionality and adds support for several
libcurl options.
PycURL 7.43.0.5:
This release fixes a build issue on recent Pythons on CentOS/RHEL distributions.
PycURL 7.43.0.4:
This release improves compatibility with Python 3.8 and removes support for Python 2 and Python 3.4. It also adds wolfSSL support and thread safety of the multi interface.
Version 7.43.0.3 [requires libcurl-7.19.0 or better] - 2019-06-17
-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed use with libcurl 7.65+ when FTP support is disabled.
* Added support for mbedTLS (patch by Josef Schlehofer).
* Fixed string processing on Python 3 (patch by Dmitriy Taychenachev).
* Added CURLOPT_TCP_FASTOPEN and CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2_PRIOR_KNOWLEDGE
(patch by Khavish Anshudass Bhundoo).
* Repaired inability to install PycURL when libcurl is using an SSL
backend other than the ones PycURL explicitly recognizes and
handles (OpenSSL, LibreSSL, BoringSSL, GnuTLS, NSS).
The requirement for setup.py to detect an SSL backend if libcurl
is configured to use SSL, added in 7.43.0.2, has been changed
to a warning to allow this.
PycURL 7.43.0.2 - 2018-06-02
----------------------------
Highlights of this release:
1. Experimental perform_rs and perform_rb methods have been added to Curl
objects. They return response body as a string and a byte string,
respectively. The goal of these methods is to improve PycURL's usability
for typical use cases, specifically removing the need to set up
StringIO/BytesIO objects to store the response body.
2. getinfo_raw and errstr_raw methods have been added to Curl objects to
return transfer information as byte strings, permitting applications to
retrieve transfer information that is not decodable using Python's
default encoding.
3. errstr and "fail or error" exceptions now replace undecodable bytes
so as to provide usable strings; use errstr_raw to retrieve original
byte strings.
4. There is no longer a need to keep references to Curl objects when they
are used in CurlMulti objects - PycURL now maintains such references
internally.
5. Official Windows builds now include HTTP/2 and international domain
name support.
6. PycURL now officially supports BoringSSL.
7. A number of smaller improvements have been made and bugs fixed.
Version 7.43.0.1:
* WRITEHEADER/WRITEFUNCTION and WRITEDATA/WRITEFUNCTION can now
be set on the same handle. The last call will take precedence over
previous calls. Previously some combinations were not allowed.
* Fixed a crash when using WRITEDATA with a file-like object followed
by WRITEDATA with a real file object.
* Fixed a theoretical memory leak in module initialization.
* Added support for CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_* constants.
* Added support for CURLSSH_AUTH_AGENT.
* Added support for CURLOPT_CONNECT_TO.
* Added support for CURLINFO_HTTP_VERSION.
* Fixed build against OpenSSL l.1 on Windows.
* Added set_ca_certs method to the Easy object to set CA certificates
from a string.
* Python 3.6 is now officially supported.
* Added support for CURLOPT_PROXY_CAPATH.
* C-Ares updated to 1.12.0 in Windows builds, fixing DNS resolution
issues on Windows.
* Added --openssl-lib-name="" option to support building against
OpenSSL 1.1.0 on Windows.
* Fixed a possible double free situation in all Curl objects
due to a misuse of the trashcan API.
* High level Curl objects can now be reused.
* LARGE options fixed under Windows and Python 3 (INFILESIZE,
MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE, MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE, MAXFILESIZE,
POSTFILESIZE, RESUME_FROM).
* Fixed compilation on Solaris.
* ENCODING option can now be unset
Highlights of this release:
1. Binary wheels are now built for Windows systems.
2. setopt_string method added to Curl objects to permit setting string libcurl
options that PycURL does not know about.
3. curl module can now be imported on Windows again.
4. OPENSOCKETFUNCTION callback is now invoked with the address as bytes on
Python 3 as was documented.
5. Support for many libcurl options and constants was added.
Version 7.19.3 [requires libcurl-7.19.0 or better] - 2014-01-09
---------------------------------------------------------------
* Added CURLOPT_NOPROXY.
* Added CURLINFO_LOCAL_PORT, CURLINFO_PRIMARY_PORT and
CURLINFO_LOCAL_IP (patch by Adam Jacob Muller).
* When running on Python 2.x, for compatibility with Python 3.x,
Unicode strings containing ASCII code points only are now accepted
in setopt() calls.
* PycURL now requires that compile time SSL backend used by libcurl
is the same as the one used at runtime. setup.py supports
--with-ssl, --with-gnutls and --with-nss options like libcurl does,
to specify which backend libcurl uses. On some systems PycURL can
automatically figure out libcurl's backend.
If the backend is not one for which PycURL provides crypto locks
(i.e., any of the other backends supported by libcurl),
no runtime SSL backend check is performed.
* Default PycURL user agent string is now built at runtime, and will
include the user agent string of libcurl loaded at runtime rather
than the one present at compile time.
* PycURL will now use WSAduplicateSocket rather than dup on Windows
to duplicate sockets obtained from OPENSOCKETFUNCTION.
Using dup may have caused crashes, OPENSOCKETFUNCTION should
now be usable on Windows.
* A new script, winbuild.py, was added to build PycURL on Windows
against Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 and 3.3.
* Added CURL_LOCK_DATA_SSL_SESSION (patch by Tom Pierce).
* Added E_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT (patch by Romuald Brunet).
* setup.py now handles --help argument and will print PycURL-specific
configuration options in addition to distutils help.
* Windows build configuration has been redone:
PYCURL_USE_LIBCURL_DLL #define is gone, use --use-libcurl-dll
argument to setup.py to build against a libcurl DLL.
CURL_STATICLIB is now #defined only when --use-libcurl-dll is not
given to setup.py, and PycURL is built against libcurl statically.
--libcurl-lib-name option can be used to override libcurl import
library name.
* Added CURLAUTH_DIGEST_IE as pycurl.HTTPAUTH_DIGEST_IE.
* Added CURLOPT_POSTREDIR option and CURL_REDIR_POST_301,
CURL_REDIR_POST_302, CURL_REDIR_POST_303 and CURL_REDIR_POST_ALL
constants. CURL_REDIR_POST_303 requires libcurl 7.26.0 or higher,
all others require libcurl 7.19.1 or higher.
* PycURL now supports Python 3.1 through 3.3. Python 3.0 might
work but it appears to ship with broken distutils, making virtualenv
not function on it.
* PycURL multi objects now have the multi constants defined on them.
Previously the constants were only available on pycurl module.
The new behavior matches that of curl and share objects.
* PycURL share objects can now be closed via the close() method.
* PycURL will no longer call `curl-config --static-libs` if
`curl-config --libs` succeeds and returns output.
Systems on which neither `curl-config --libs` nor
`curl-config --static-libs` do the right thing should provide
a `curl-config` wrapper that is sane.
* Added CURLFORM_BUFFER and CURLFORM_BUFFERPTR.
* pycurl.version and user agent string now include both
PycURL version and libcurl version as separate items.
* Added CURLOPT_DNS_SERVERS.
* PycURL can now be dynamically linked against libcurl on Windows
if PYCURL_USE_LIBCURL_DLL is #defined during compilation.
* Breaking change: opensocket callback now takes an additional
(address, port) tuple argument. Existing callbacks will need to
be modified to accept this new argument.

Version 7.19.0.3 [requires libcurl-7.19.0 or better] - 2013-12-24
-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Re-release of 7.19.0.2 with minor changes to build Windows packages
due to botched 7.19.0.2 files on PyPi.

Version 7.19.0.2 [requires libcurl-7.19.0 or better] - 2013-10-08
-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Fixed a bug in a commit made in 2008 but not released until 7.19.0.1
which caused CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to not correctly increment reference
count of the object being given as its argument, despite libcurl not
copying the data provided by said object.
* Added support for libcurl pause/unpause functionality,
via curl_easy_pause call and returning READFUNC_PAUSE from
read callback function.
Version 7.19.0.1 [requires libcurl-7.19.0 or better] - 2013-09-23
-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Test matrix tool added to test against all supported Python and
libcurl versions.
* Python 2.4 is now the minimum required version.
* Source code, bugs and patches are now kept on GitHub.
* Added CURLINFO_CERTINFO and CURLOPT_CERTINFO.
* Added CURLOPT_RESOLVE.
* PycURL can now be used with Python binaries without thread
support.
* gcrypt is no longer initialized when a newer version of gnutls
is used.
* Marked NSS as supported.
* Fixed relative URL request logic.
* Fixed a memory leak in util_curl_init.
* Added CURLOPT_USERNAME and CURLOPT_PASSWORD.
* Fixed handling of big timeout values.
* Added GLOBAL_ACK_EINTR.
* setopt(..., None) can be used as unsetopt().
* CURLOPT_RANGE can now be unset.
* Write callback can return -1 to signal user abort.
* Reorganized tests into an automated test suite.
* Added CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SEEKDATA.
* Cleaned up website.
* Fix pycurl.reset() (patch by <johansen at sun.com>).
* Fix install routine in setup.py where
certain platforms (Solaris, Mac OSX, etc)
would search for a static copy of libcurl (dbp).
* Fixed build on OpenSolaris 0906 and other platforms on which
curl-config does not have a --static-libs option.
* No longer keep string options copies in the
Curl Python objects, since string options are
now managed by libcurl.
