Your JoeDog is pleased to announce the release of siege-4.0.1.

This release contains no recognizable goodies for you to play with but it will probably reduce the number of times you curse at us. It is primarily a bug fix.

You knew that was coming, right? Some of you may have put off the move to 4.x in anticipation of the blessed 0.0.1 bug fix release. Well, here it is!

This release includes a patch by Niklas Hambüchen which improves the efficiency of chunked encoding reads. It also includes a patch by Warren Young which improves / fixes issues with cookie handling and expiration. Trent Oswald included additional default MIME types and V.  Filanovsky added support for URLs longer than 4096 characters.

The release also includes several other minor bug fixes and documentation errors.

If you’re running version 4.0.0, then you should probably upgrade.
