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!
