> Hot on the heels of Curb 0.0.1, version 0.0.2 is now available from
> rubyforge (http://rubyforge.org/projects/curb). Curb provides easy to
> use bindings to the libcurl URL transfer library.
>
> This release improves compatibility with older libcurl versions,
> tidies
> up compilation on OSX, improves proxy support, and allows
> authentication
> types to be configured. If you're using Curb 0.0.1, you should
> definitely make this upgrade.
>
> Changes in this release:
> * Fixed escape/unescape totally broken bug
> * Implemented local_port and local_port_range
> * Implemented proxy configuration
> * Implemented HTTP auth type configuration
> * Made recent libcurl tftp stuff optional at compile time
> * Fixed some implicit-declaration-by-typo errors
> * Removed some unused variables
> * Tidied up some other -Wall warnings
> * Added -Wall if possible in extconf.rb
> * Fixed warnings in tests with 1.8.5
> * Added links to homepage in readme
>
> Thanks to everyone (especially Olle Jonsson and Friedrich
> Dominicus) who
> provided feedback on Curb's cross-platform buildability. More of the
> same, please - and let's (try to) get it going on Windows!
