Curl and libcurl 7.34.0

  Public curl releases:         136
  Command line options:         161
  curl_easy_setopt() options:   206
  Public functions in libcurl:  58

This release includes the following security fix:
  o gtls: respect *VERIFYHOST independently of *VERIFYPEER [26]

This release includes the following changes:

  o SSL: protocol version can be specified more precisely [1]
  o imap/pop3/smtp: Added graceful cancellation of SASL authentication
  o Add "Happy Eyeballs" for IPv4/IPv6 dual connect attempts
  o base64: Added validation of base64 input strings when decoding [8]
  o curl_easy_setopt: Added the ability to set the login options separately
  o smtp: Added support for additional SMTP commands
  o curl_easy_getinfo: Added CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION for accessing TLS
internals
  o nss: allow to use TLS > 1.0 if built against recent NSS [18]

This update makes the configure script check for the SSL_VersionRangeSet function for NSS detection. The function was added in NSS 3.14 and hence attempting to build with older versions of NSS now fails (at least if you're looking for a build with SSL support). Was this intentional?

I try to backport current releases of curl to old versions of Fedora, and Fedora releases 10 to 15 have NSS-based SSL using NSS 3.12.x and 3.13.x, which don't work with curl 7.34.0 now.

If there's no intention of supporting older versions of NSS, I could switch these builds to OpenSSL instead but I'd rather use the same backend as was used by the curl supplied in those Fedora releases really.

Paul.
