  • Rrelease-mid
  •  20 Jun 2001 15:54
  • Rrelease-after

Changes: This is the first public release after a major rewrite, so don't expect it to be bug free (but most things should work as usual). The biggest user-visible change is that the magic char has changed from '@' to '#'. There are new modules for FTP, HTTP, rsh, SSH and DAV. There are also a number of speed enhancements (gzip and bzip2 in particular).
