This is to announce the release of Pound v2.2.8. Changes in this version
(since 2.2.8):

Enhancements:

- more tweaking in dynamic scaling

- more information in the output of poundctl.

The software is at version 2.2.7 (beta quality). Further testing
(especially under heavy loads), improvements and suggestions are
welcome.

This version should be considered as a release candidate for 2.3. In the
absence of major complaints we'll release this as 2.3 next week.[...]

In pound 2.8.8 LogLevel is still ignored and does not work for me.
Is the place for LogLevel (in conf file) changed compared to 2.2 ?

Hi,

I found what's the difference between 2.2 and 2.2.8
pound 2.8.8 expects LogLevel to be put between ListenHTTP(S) and End
and ignore LogLevel if it is at the end of file (pound 2.2 does not 
ignore it).
Is this a bug or a feature ? :)[...][...][...][...]

Definitely a feature.

In 2.2.8 you can define separate LogLevels for each Listener. They will
override the global LogLevel (or the default). However, there is a price
to pay: the global LogLevel must be defined BEFORE the Listeners.

In general it is a good idea to put all your globals at the beginning of
the file - there are other parameters with the same behaviour.[...]

Due to popular demand, in the future the interim release numbering shall
be changed:
  - bug fixes to the stable release shall be numbered as 2.3.1, 2.3.2 
    and so on.
  - experimental versions shall be numbered 2.4a, 2.4b and so on. The
    next stable release shall be 2.4. In the unlikely event of more 
    than 26 interim releases we'll consider tagging in Unicode.[...]
