This release is the first after the libwww code base was made directly available through CVS in May 1998. There are now more than 530 checked out copies out there among you. Special thanks to Bob Racko, John Punin, Vladimir Kozlov, and Jose Kahan for their great help in this release - may that inspire some more of you out there! Get the release from http://www.w3.org/Library/Distribution.html This release is a wrap up of the current CVS repository with a lot of new cool features, especially in the libwww robot, the webbot: http://www.w3.org/Robot/ and the Web Commander http://www.w3.org/WinCom/ Also, a lot of bugs have been fixed and so it should now be more fun and reliable to use libwww. Performancewise, the libwww HTTP implementation is in top using HTTP/1.1 pipelining and smart output buffering, persistent caching, compression and more. For a discussion of the relationship between CVS and libwww releases, see http://www.w3.org/Library/cvs.html#Releases Have fun and happy Halloween!
