ANNOUNCE: Pound - reverse proxy and load balancer - v2.5a

This is to announce the release of Pound v2.5a. This is an experimental
version - the first in the 2.5 series. Changes since version 2.4.5:

Enhancements:
  - support for include directive

Bug fixes:
  - fixed generation of ephemeral RSA keys (avoid premature locking)
  - added pre-generated DH parameters

The software is at version 2.5a (beta quality). Further testing
(especially under heavy loads), improvements and suggestions are
welcome.[...]

Found few issues:

1. To recompile/relink pound, need to type either "make pound" or "make 
all", as it checks if dh512.h has changed to recompile the code.
2. When I first started the new version, it complained that no listeners 
were found.  The following needs to be added (to strip new-line 
character) inside conf_fgets() just before checking for Empty or comment:
if(strlen(buf) > 0 && buf[strlen(buf) - 1] == '\n')
    buf[strlen(buf) - 1] = '\0';

3. There are new directives for ConnTO, IgnoreCase, HTTPS, HTTPSCert, 
but they are not parsed anywhere (and therefore not used).  Are there 
plans to use/implement them in this version?

Thanks, we'll fix that in the next release.

As above...

Yes. The final 2.5 will include (in addition to Include):

- a ConnTO directive, controlling the connect to back-end time-out.
- an IgnoreCase directive (boolean), controlling the matching mode on
URLs
- the ability to talk to HTTPS back-ends, with or without a client
certificate.[...]

This is to announce the release of Pound v2.5b. This is an experimental
version - the second in the 2.5 series. Changes since version 2.5a:

Enhancements:
  - support for ConnTO directive (back-end connection time-out)
  - support for IgnoreCase directive (URL matching)

Bug fixes:
  - fixed problem in conf_fgets (\n confuses the regexp)
  - changed RSA ephemeral keys regeneration default time (every 30
    minutes). You can still override this at compile time.

The software is at version 2.5b (beta quality). Further testing
(especially under heavy loads), improvements and suggestions are
welcome.[...]

 - support for ConnTO directive (back-end connection time-out)

How does this diff from the normal TimeOut?
More like a connect timeout rather than timeout of response?
