ANNOUNCE: lingerd 0.93

Lingerd version 0.93 has been released at 
ftp://iagora.com/pub/software/lingerd/lingerd-0.93.tar.gz

WHAT IS LINGERD?

Lingerd is a daemon that greatly improves Apache's scalability by
taking over the task of lingering on closing sockets.  On dynamic
page servers that don't serve their own images (and where keepalives
are off), the effect of lingerd on Apache's load is similar to that
of a proxy front-end server.

CHANGES

This release is mostly to announce that lingerd has been used in
production for a while, and has lingered some 2,000,000 connections
with no errors.

There are some cosmetic changes in the code and documentation, but
you don't really need to upgrade if you're already running an older
lingerd.

On non-Linux systems, more testing is still needed.
