have spent so much time triaging and fixing v3.5/trunk bugs that had
almost no resources left for new features and improvements planned for
v4.0 (including but not limited to bug #7 fix and cache performance
work). This may partially explain why the "new features" list for v4.0
on wiki does not have much to brag about.

Glad your experience was different!

I need to port the already posted HTTP request line parser to trunk,
adjusting its character sets as agreed. Factory also has about a dozen
almost-ready fixes and improvements that should probably be in v4.0, but
you can port them as they get polished and posted.

FWIW, I had no time to look at it, but hope to do that within two-three
days.
