Shouldn't those be WRITE_FUNCTION, PASSWD_FUNCTION and so on? It's more readable. Also I don't think you need to spell out the whole API in the NEWS. The first part of the sentence is enough :)

+- Added the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, CURLOPT_CAINFO, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, + CURLOPT_FILETIME (and therefore CURLINFO_FILETIME), CURLOPT_RANDOM_FILE, + CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT options to curl_setopt(). + (Sterling)

I'd also change the naming convention to be similar as what I mentioned above and again, you don't have to spell out all new constants :)

+- Added support for persistent connections with cURL. (Sterling)

Just curious. What is a cURL persistent connection? For example a persistent connection to a URL? Does it Cache the data?

Next time don't ask us to speak :) Andi
