This is to announce the release of Pound v1.8.

Changes in this version:
- added support for non-blocking connect(2)

- added RedirectRewrite directive - to prevent redirect changes
- added support for NoHTTPS11 value 2 (for MSIE clients only)
- added support for HTTPSHeaders 3 (no verify)

Problems fixed:
- fixed bug if multiple listening ports/addresses
- fixed memory leak in SSL
- flush stdout (if used) after each log message
- assumes only 304, 305 and 306 codes to have no content
- fixed problem with delays in 302 without content
- fixed problem with time-outs in HTTPS

Enhancements:
- improved threads detection code in autoconf
- added supervisor process disable configuration flag
- tweak for the Location rewriting code (only look at current GROUP)
- improved print-out for client certificate information

The software is at version 1.8 (production quality). Further testing 
(especially under heavy loads), improvements and suggestions are
welcome.

Starting as of now we'll change the -current naming scheme. Instead of one 
Pound-current archive we'll have the interim versions numbered Pound-1.8.1, 
Pound-1.8.2 and so on in order to help people track which version is which. 
All interim versions will be available on-line until the release of the next 
stable version.[...]
