Changes in release 0.18.0:
* API change: authentication callback is passed fixed-size username/password
buffers, and an 'attempt' counter. Authentication is retried *forever*
until either it succeeds, or the callback returns non-zero.
* API clarifications:
- ne_propname may have a NULL nspace field, indicating the property has no
namespace. This holds for properties returned by the propfind interfaces.
- added NE_ELM_PROPS_UNUSED as the lowest element number which should
be used with handlers added to the XML parser returned by
ne_propfind_get_parser.
* Fixes and cleanups of lock discovery interface.
* Fix for short write handling in ne_get() (thanks to rado <dzusto@yahoo.com>).
* Fix for XML namespace prefix handling where a prefix could be mapped to an
incorrect URI (e.g. in PROPFINDs against mod_dav with >10 namespaces used)
* Add '--support <feature>' option to neon-config; the script exits with
success if given feature is supported. Known features are ssl, dav, zlib.
* Support for SSL, DAV, zlib is exported by neon.m4 as shell variable
NEON_SUPPORTS_{SSL,DAV,ZLIB}={yes,no} for bundled and external builds.
* `neon-config --cflags` won't include -I/usr/include for SSL build.
* Fix to call progress callbacks while sending request bodies again.
* Test changes:
- portability fixes, auth interface and progress tests.
Changes in release 0.17.2:
* Accept Status-Lines with no reason phrase (Jeremy Elson).
* Fix handling of persistent connection timeout, and better error
handling if sending a request fails.
* Fix crashes in locking code.
* Return parse error on XML namespace prefix declaration with
an empty value. Thanks to Julian Reschke.
* Allow passing property names with NULL namespace to ne_proppatch.
* Fix for cross-compilation (Mo DeJong).
* Moved ne_propname definition from ne_207.h to ne_props.h.
* Test changes:
- updated for Status-Line parsing changes (Jeremy Elson)
- better persistent connection tests
- fixed for --disable-webdav build

infinite loop when the server closes the connection prematurely.
* Add '--without-zlib' configure option.
* Test changes:
- prettify output; imitate Perl test suite output.
- add tests for interim 1xx responses, persistent connections, more
unbounded operations.
Changes in release 0.17.0:
* Add support for decoding gzip Content-Encoding: see ne_compress.h.
- built if zlib is found; `neon-config --cflags' will define NEON_ZLIB if so.
* Rewrite hooks interface to register individual callbacks.
- inspired by the Apache 2.0/APR hooks interface
* Register cookies hooks using ne_cookie_register().
* Clean up configure scripts to enable use of autoconf 2.5x (Mo DeJong).

Changes in release 0.16.1:
* Also handle write errors in ne_get_range.
* Dump request body blocks in debugging mode.
* Fix ne_shave() causing memory corruption when the result should
have been the empty string.
* Refactor auth header parsing code; more efficient now.
- fixes digest auth RFC2617-style broken in 0.16.0
Changes in release 0.16.0:
* API change: ne_copy takes a depth parameter (thanks to Arun Garg, Medha Atre)
* API change: validate callback to ne_xml also takes a userdata arg.
* Added 'ne_lock_refresh' for performing lock refresh (Arun Garg).

stream.
* Ignore repeated calls to sock_init().
* Fixes to error handling in ne_get_range.
* Minor improvements to memory handling in auth code.
* Fix for start_propstat callback being called with NULL response
argument when given invalid XML, causing a segfault in propfind code.

- added NEON_DEBUG macro to exported autoconf macros.
* Call progress callbacks for request bodies.
* Test changes:
- check that reading response headers is a bounded operation.
- use a pipe between child and parent to avoid race condition and
tedious sleep().
Changes in release 0.15.0:
* Major API renaming to use ne_/NE_ namespace:
- http_ to ne_, HTTP_ to NE_, dav_ to ne_, DAV_ to NE_, neon_ to ne_
- hip_xml_ to ne_xml_, HIP_ELM_ to NE_ELM_, HIP_XML_ -> NE_XML_
- sbuffer_ to ne_buffer_
- DEBUG() to NE_DEBUG(), DEBUG_ to NE_DBG_
* Type renames:
- http_req to ne_request
- sbuffer to 'ne_buffer *'
* Note, 'ne_buffer' is not an implicit pointer type, you must
specify the '*' now, e.g. 'ne_buffer *buf = ne_buffer_create();'.
* ne_buffer is no longer opaque.
- ne_buffer_data() removed: use buf->data instead.
- ne_buffer_size() is a macro.
* Header renames and additions:

- http_basic.h and dav_basic.h merged into ne_basic.h
* New functions:
- ne_token and ne_shave, to obsolete split_string, shave_string.
* Removed: ne_get_request_headers().
* autoconf changes:
- disable building shared neon library by default.
- option --enable-libxml is replaced by --with-libxml1 and
--with-libxml2 to force use of a particular parser.
* Fix auth code to only take MD5 digests of response body blocks when
necessary (thanks to Kai Sommerfeld).
* Fix alignment bug in MD5 code which could cause SIGBUS on Sparc
architectures (Kai Sommerfeld).
* Rewrite of request body handling:
- ne_set_request_body_fd replaces _stream, using an int fd rather than
a FILE *.
- added ne_set_request_body_provider to give a callback which is called
to provide request body blocks.
- removal of 'use_body' hook in favour of 'ne_pull_request_body' function
to allow hooks to manually read the request body.
- ne_{put,get,post,put_if_unmodified} all take an integer fd rather than a
FILE * stream.
* Test changes:
- added framework for testing "over the wire" (fork a server process)
- added tests for response message length handling, chunked responses,
header folding, sending request bodies.
- start at listing RFC2616 requirements and whether they are met
or not in test/STATUS.

* Significant API change to properties code, to allow use of allprop
and complex properties:
- dav_propfind_set_complex and _set_flat are removed.
- add parameter to dav_propfind_named to take the list of property names
to be fetched.
- new function dav_propfind_set_private to set private callback.
- all properties not handled by caller are stored as flat properties.
* Untested: add basic SOCKSv5 support: configure --with-socks.

- added 'authinfo' field to struct uri.
* New API: hip_xml_get_attr to retrieve attributes.
* Store language for properties, access with dav_propset_lang.
- only if property is defined on the property element itself.

Changes in release 0.13.0:
* Fix ne_strndup allocating one byte less than it should (Kai Sommerfeld)
- if you use uri_parse, this bug may have caused subtle memory corruption
in your application.
* Revert API changes in 0.12: property values are not UTF-8 encoded/decoded
internally. (thanks to Greg Stein)
* Add another optional argument to NEON_BUNDLED macros, actions to
be run if bundled build is *not* selected.

for the cookie.
* Removed dav_lock_unregister in favour of automatic cleanup when session
is destroyed.
* Fixed leaks in redirect code (Kai Sommerfeld).
* Fixed crashes in hip_xml_destroy (Kai Sommerfeld).
* Redirects to a different hostname/port/scheme are never followed: the request
will fail with HTTP_REDIRECT instead. Redirect notification callback is
only called for *followed* redirects.
New API: http_redirect_location() for retrieving location of last redirect.
* Authentication is now implemented as a hook, independently of http_request.c:
- API change: removed 'hostname' argument from auth callbacks.
- API change: you must now include http_auth.h from your application.
- Also fixes case of using server and proxy authentication simultaneously

callbacks made per-socket.
* Supports new expat (Sam TH <sam@uchicago.edu>)
* Supports libxml2 (in preference to libxml1).
* API change: added namespace protection to base64 and dates functions:
all have ne_ prefix now.
* Fixed ranged GETs where a specific range is requested (Johan Lindh
<johan@linkdata.se>).
* Limit number of response header fields to 100.
* Allow requests for the '*' URI even if a proxy server is in use.
* libxml: Get useful error messages for parse errors.
Changes in release 0.12.0:
* Portability fixes to http_request.c and http_auth.c.
- fixes digest auth on big-endian architectures.
* Fix warnings from stray tokens after #endif's in uri.h and string_utils.h.
* Add C++ inclusion safety to http_redirect.h (Kai Sommerfeld
<kai.sommerfeld@germany.sun.com>).
* Make redirects to a different host work (Kai Sommerfeld).
* Fix reading response bodies when non-chunked and no Content-Length
(Kai Sommerfeld).

* Fixed memory leaks in session hooks (thanks to Kai Sommerfeld).
* Fix passing NULL props argument to dav_simple_propfind, to support
allprop requests.
**** MAJOR INTERFACE CHANGE ****
- URIs passed to http_request_create() are NOT escaped by neon. You
MUST do this yourself to remain HTTP compliant, using e.g.
uri_abspath_escape. (Kai Sommerfeld)
* Added --disable-webdav flag to configure, to disable DAV support in
the library. This allows building neon without an XML parser.
* Corresponding NEON_WITHOUT_WEBDAV macro for use in bundled builds.
* Fix Makefile dependancies.
* A bundled neon directory builds or doesn't build automatically
(i.e. you recurse into it unconditionally).
* API clarification:
- dav_propset_status may return NULL if the server does not return
a response for the given property (issue is open for debate).
* API change up for debate:
- Property values to dav_proppatch are UTF-8 encoded internally.
- Property values in dav_propfind_* are UTF-8 decoded internally.
* API additions: ne_realloc, ne_utf8_encode.
Changes in release 0.11.0:
* Added SSL client certificate support with 'sock_set_client_cert'.
- Supports certs in PEM-encoded files.
- Specify a callback for prompting the user for the password with
sock_set_key_prompt.
* Added 'ne_oom_callback', to register a callback which is used if
malloc() returns NULL. (Mike Rosellini <m@icopyright.com>)
* Register appropriate callback with libxml to handle <
