Dev happenings these days

Hey friends!
1 - I decided not to release another release very quickly even though I said I
would, since it seems very few people actually suffer from the flaw that
made me say so.
2 - My planned commit that will separate the data and conn structs will not be
as major as we (I and Ravi Pratap) first believed. We will still have a
'data' point in the conn struct but it will be somewhat more loosly
connected as the same conn struct may be pointing to different 'data'
structs for different transfers, because...
3 - I'm introducing the shared connection cache between all easy handles in a
multi handle, so that all handles within a multi handle use the same
"cache" to deal with persistent connections. It should increase the
probablity of connection re-use for most applicatons that use a number of
easy handles.
4 - Ravi Pratap works on the upcoming HTTP pipelining support that will allow
easy handles within a multi handle to get "piped" on an already existing
connection if the multi handle is set to be pipelining.
5 - As usual, I'm under some load so there's a few patches pending to get
applied and committed. Paid work is keeping me busy. I don't expect this
situation to loosen anytime soon since we're expecting our daughter to get
a "rival" in just four weeks or so... Just make sure you post patches to
this list and I don't think I'll forget or miss then, it just will take a
little longer time than usual.
Have fun!
