ANNOUNCE: Pound - reverse proxy and load balancer - v2.5
Robert Segall <roseg(at)apsis.ch>		 2010-02-02 13:07:44 [ FULL ] 
This is to announce the release of Pound v2.5. This is a stable version.
Changes since version 2.5e:

Bug fixes:
  - fixed XML format to avoid problems with brain-dead parsers
  - fixed Redirect to accept "/" as a path, so that "Redirect 
    http://x/" is considered an absolute path, but
"Redirect http://x"
    is not

Changes since 2.4.5 (last stable version):

Enhancements:
  - added support for symbolic host names in poundctl
  - added support for --disable-pcreposix, --disable--tcmalloc,
    --disable-hoard in configuration script
  - added support for HTTPS backends
  - support for ConnTO directive
  - support for IgnoreCase directive
  - support for include directive

Bug fixes:
  - fixed XML format to avoid problems with brain-dead parsers
  - fixed Redirect to accept "/" as a path, so that "Redirect http://x/"
    is considered an absolute path, but "Redirect http://x" is not
  - fixed problem with long input lines in http.c
  - if libpcreposix is present, then pcreposix.h must also be present
  - fixed problem with sub-patterns in session parameters
  - fixed problem in conf_fgets (\n confuses the regexp)
  - changed RSA ephemeral keys regeneration default time (every 30
    minutes)
  - fixed generation of ephemeral RSA keys (avoid premature locking)
  - added pre-generated DH parameters

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

Funny, now it works. Might be our crappy corporate proxy...

The link in "Download the latest version Pound-2.5.tgz  file and
