Hi friends!

I'm happy to announce another release - this time mostly due to the security
flaw discovered.

Get the source package from http://curl.haxx.se/download.html or from one of
the many mirrors.

Also try the "download wizard" at http://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz/

Curl and libcurl 7.13.1

  Public curl release number: 86
  Releases counted from the very beginning: 113
  Available command line options: 104
  Available curl_easy_setopt() options: 122
  Number of public functions in libcurl: 46
  Amount of public web site mirrors: 18
  Number of known libcurl bindings: 30

This release includes the following changes:

  o CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE set to "" is now activating the cookie engine
  o FTP code overhaul => multi interface much less blocking
  o Added CURLE_LOGIN_DENIED to be returned when curl is denied login to FTP
    servers

This release includes the following bugfixes:

  o -# crash when more data than expected was retrieved
  o NTLM/krb4 buffer overflow fixed (CAN-2005-0490)
  o proxy auth bug when following redirects to another host
  o socket leak when local bind failed
  o HTTP POST with --anyauth picking NTLM
  o SSL problems when downloading exactly 16KB data
  o out of memory conditions preserve error codes better
  o a few crashes at out of memory
  o inflate buffer usage bugfix
  o better DICT protocol adherence
  o disable valgrind-checking while testing if libcurl is built shared

Other curl-related news since the previous public release:

  o libcurl-vb 1.0 http://sf.net/projects/libcurl-vb/
  o pycurl 7.13.0: http://pycurl.sf.net/
  o new german mirror: http://curl.mons-new-media.de
  o new US mirror: http://curl.islandofpoker.com

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

  Gisle Vanem, David Byron, Marty Kuhrt, Maruko, Eric Vergnaud, Christopher
  R. Palmer, Mike Dobbs, David in bug report #1124588, Ralph Mitchell,
  Rene Rebe, Dave Dribin, Dan Fandrich

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