Hi friends!

I'm happy to once again be able to let you know that we have a new release
out. It counts no less than 5 changes and 41 bugfixes made during the 58 days
since the previous release. As usual this is a team effort and the great
people behind this release are mentioned below. Remember to buy them a beer if
you ever run into one of them!

As usual, run over to http://curl.haxx.se/ to download the code. We keep track
of all the binary packages we know of, but they will of course take some time
to get updated.

The details for this particular release is listed below.

Curl and libcurl 7.21.5

  Public curl releases: 121
  Command line options: 143

  o nss: avoid memory leak on SSL connection failure
  o nss: do not ignore failure of SSL handshake
  o multi: better failed connect handling when using FTP, SMTP, POP3 and IMAP
  o runtests.pl: fix pid number concatenation that prevented it from killing
    the correct process at times
  o PolarSSL: Return 0 on receiving TLS CLOSE_NOTIFY alert
  o curl_easy_setopt.3: Removed wrong reference to CURLOPT_USERPASSWORD
  o multi: close connection on timeout
  o IMAP in multi mode does SSL connections non-blocking
  o honours the --disable-ldaps configure option
  o Force setopt constants written by --libcurl to be long
  o ssh_connect: treat libssh2 return code better
  o SFTP upload could stall the state machine when the multi_socket API was
    used
  o SFTP and SCP could leak memory when used with the multi interface and
    the connection was closed
  o Added missing file to repair the MSVC makefiles
  o Fixed detection of recvfrom arguments on Android/bionic
  o GSS: handle reuse fix
  o transfer: avoid insane conversion of time_t
  o nss: do not ignore value of CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER in certain cases
  o SMTP-multi: non-blocking connect
  o SFTP-multi: set cselect for sftp and scp to fix "stall" risk
  o configure: removed wrongly claimed default paths
  o pop3: fixed torture tests to succeed
  o symbols-in-versions: many corrections
  o if a HTTP request gets retried because the connection was dead, rewind if
    any data was sent as part of it
  o only probe for working ipv6 once and then re-use that info for further
    requests
  o requests that are asked to bound to a local interface/port will no longer
    wrongly re-use connections that aren't
  o libcurl.m4: Add missing quotes in AC_LINK_IFELSE
  o progress output: don't print the last update on a separate line
  o POP3: the command to send is STLS, not STARTTLS
  o POP3: PASS command was not sent after upgrade to TLS
  o configure: fix libtool warning
  o nss: allow to use multiple client certificates for a single host
  o HTTP pipelining: Fix handling of zero-length responses
  o Don't list NTLM in curl-config when HTTP is disabled
  o curl_easy_setopt.3: CURLOPT_RESOLVE typo version
  o OpenSSL: build fine with no-sslv2 versions
  o checkconnection: don't call with NULL pointer with RTSP and multi interface
  o Borland makefile updates
  o configure: libssh2 link fix without pkg-config
  o certinfo crash
  o CCC crash

This release includes the following known bugs:
