TODO: remove items for next SONAME bump etc
We want to avoid that completely, so we don't plan for things after such an event.

We could then remove the "check that it is our server that's running"-check
and we would immediately detect when we write tests wrongly to use hard-coded
port numbers.
-
-21. Next SONAME bump
-
-21.1 http-style HEAD output for FTP
-
- #undef CURL_FTP_HTTPSTYLE_HEAD in lib/ftp.c to remove the HTTP-style headers
- from being output in NOBODY requests over FTP
-
-21.2 combine error codes
-
- Combine some of the error codes to remove duplicates. The original
- numbering should not be changed, and the old identifiers would be
- macroed to the new ones in an CURL_NO_OLDIES section to help with
- backward compatibility.
-
- Candidates for removal and their replacements:
-
- CURLE_FILE_COULDNT_READ_FILE => CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_NOT_FOUND
-
- CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_RETR_FILE => CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_NOT_FOUND
-
- CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_USE_REST => CURLE_RANGE_ERROR
-
- CURLE_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND => CURLE_FAILED_INIT
-
- CURLE_LDAP_INVALID_URL => CURLE_URL_MALFORMAT
-
- CURLE_TFTP_NOSUCHUSER => CURLE_TFTP_ILLEGAL
-
- CURLE_TFTP_NOTFOUND => CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_NOT_FOUND
-
- CURLE_TFTP_PERM => CURLE_REMOTE_ACCESS_DENIED
-
-21.3 extend CURLOPT_SOCKOPTFUNCTION prototype
-
- The current prototype only provides 'purpose' that tells what the
- connection/socket is for, but not any protocol or similar. It makes it hard
- for applications to differentiate on TCP vs UDP and even HTTP vs FTP and
- similar.
-
-22. Next major release
-
-22.1 cleanup return codes
-
- curl_easy_cleanup() returns void, but curl_multi_cleanup() returns a
- CURLMcode. These should be changed to be the same.
-
-22.2 remove obsolete defines
-
- remove obsolete defines from curl/curl.h
-
-22.3 size_t
-
- make several functions use size_t instead of int in their APIs
-
-22.4 remove several functions
-
- remove the following functions from the public API:
-
- curl_getenv
-
- curl_mprintf (and variations)
-
- curl_strequal
-
- curl_strnequal
-
- They will instead become curlx_ - alternatives. That makes the curl app
- still capable of using them, by building with them from source.
-
- These functions have no purpose anymore:
-
- curl_multi_socket
-
- curl_multi_socket_all
-
-22.5 remove CURLOPT_FAILONERROR
-
- Remove support for CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, it has gotten too kludgy and weird
- internally. Let the app judge success or not for itself.
-
-22.7 remove progress meter from libcurl
-
- The internally provided progress meter output doesn't belong in the library.
- Basically no application wants it (apart from curl) but instead applications
- can and should do their own progress meters using the progress callback.
-
- The progress callback should then be bumped as well to get proper 64bit
- variable types passed to it instead of doubles so that big files work
- correctly.
-
-22.8 remove 'curl_httppost' from public
-
- curl_formadd() was made to fill in a public struct, but the fact that the
- struct is public is never really used by application for their own advantage
- but instead often restricts how the form functions can or can't be modified.
-
- Changing them to return a private handle will benefit the implementation and
- allow us much greater freedoms while still maintaining a solid API and ABI.
