Curl 7.37.1, a command line tool for transferring data with URL syntax, supporting numerous transfer protocols, including proxies, cookies, and user and password authentication, is now available for download.

cURL stands for “Client for URLs” and comprises two projects: curl, a client-side URL transfer library, supporting DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, and other formats, and libcurl, which supports HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, and much more.

According to the changelog, connection close tracking has been implemented, support has been added for --cacert, ALPN support has been implemented, and a new option has been added in man pages.

Also, $(TargetDir) and $(TargetName) macros for .pdb and .lib output are now used, uninitialized variable use in NPN callback has been fixed, the URL is now reset properly, deprecated type names are no longer used, building with nghttp2 and without ALPN support is now allowed, a portability issue with the tftpd server has been corrected, a segfault that occurred when using the plain-text http2 has been avoided, and the GCC build on SPARC systems without configure script is now working properly.

A complete list of changes and new features can be found in the official announcement. You can download the Curl 7.37.1 source right now from Softpedia.
