Curl and libcurl 7.10.8 is out! A bugfix release.

This release includes the following changes:

 o CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE lets you select pure IPv6 or IPv4 resolved addresses
   (curl offers the command line options -4/--ipv4 and -6/--ipv6)
 o GSS-Negotiate works fine with the MIT kerberos library
 o SPNEGO support added, if libcurl is built with the FBopenssl libraries,
   curl_version_info() can return a feature bit for it and curl -V displays
   SPNEGO as a feature if libcurl is built with it enabled.
 o easy handles added to a multi handle now share DNS cache automaticly
 o CURLINFO_HTTPAUTH_AVAIL and CURLINFO_PROXYAUTH_AVAIL were added
 o CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT was added
 o NTLM, Digest and GSS-Negotiate authentications should work even for HTTPS
   over proxies
 o curl supports multiple -T flags to allow serveral uploaded files using
   a single command line
 o CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE can return the last FTP response code

This release includes the following bugfixes:

 o changed the curl_lock_function proto to prevent warnings on some compilers
 o builds fine on QNX 6.2.x now
 o PUT with --digest works now 
 o --anyauth that picks NTLM and then follows a redirect (and does NTLM again)
   works now
 o asynch resolves now work on NT4 too
 o a DNS cache trash (possible segfault) was fixed
 o runtests.pl clears all proxy environment variables before the test is run
 o Microsoft's "Negotiate" authentication is now supported by the existing
   GSSNEGOTIATE option.
 o A set zero-length proxy name confused libcurl
 o Digest authentication works again without OpenSSL on 64bit architectures
 o configure --enable-thread works now
 o buffer problems in the test suite's web server were fixed
 o improved proxy password handling
 o LDAP is again working nicely with the current OpenLDAP
 o asynch name lookup for non-resolving hosts now return a proper error message
 o CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST set to 1 no longer aborts if no CN field is
   obtainable, it will merely warn about it.
 o name resolve segfault with uClibc fixed
 o multi interface and multi-part/formpost could end in segfault
 o curl_multi_info_read() sets the msgs_in_queue to 0 when returning NULL
 o multi interface, ares and non-resolving host caused a segfault
 o minor single SSL memory leak fixed
 o Setting CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION or CURLOPT_READFUNCTION to NULL resets them
   to default.
