Hello everyone,

I am pleased to announce PycURL 7.21.5 release.

Highlights of this release:

1. Socket callbacks are now fully implemented
(``CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION``, ``CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION``,
``CURLOPT_CLOSESOCKETFUNCTION``). Unfortunately this required changing
``OPENSOCKETFUNCTION`` API once again in a backwards-incompatible
manner. Support for ``SOCKOPTFUNCTION`` and ``CLOSESOCKETFUNCTION`` was
added in this release. ``OPENSOCKETFUNCTION`` now supports Unix sockets.

2. Many other libcurl options and constants have been added to PycURL.

3. When ``pycurl`` module initialization fails, ``ImportError`` is raised instead of a fatal error terminating the process.

4. Usability of official Windows builds has been greatly improved:

   * Dependencies are linked statically, eliminating possible DLL conflicts.
   * OpenSSL is used instead of WinSSL.
   * libcurl is linked against C-Ares and libssh2.

The full changelog can be found here:

As always, you should be able to install PycURL from source by
downloading

http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/download/pycurl-7.21.5.tar.gz

and running `python setup.py install`.

You can also install PycURL via easy_install or pip as follows:

easy_install pycurl
pip install pycurl

Regards,

Oleg
