ANNOUNCE: ammonite 0.8.0 released

[Mike Fleming <mfleming eazel com>]

ammonite 0.8.0, "Proxy This!" has been released.

What is it?
===========

Ammonite is a client-side HTTP proxy with special features for
connecting to Eazel Services.  It implements Eazel's client-side
authentication framework.  Most importantly, it allows multiple programs
to communicate with Eazel Services while the user only logs in once.  It
also tunnels all Eazel Service HTTP traffic over SSL.

Why do I care?
==============

Maybe you don't.  Ammonite is a pretty purpose-fit piece of software. 
You'll need it if you configure Nautilus with --enable-services,
however.

Where did it come from?
=======================

Ammonite was originally based on tinyproxy v1.3 by Steven Young
<sdyoung well com> and Robert James Kaes <rjkaes flarenet com>. 
However, almost no code remains from those innocent beginnings.

What's in there?
================
	Async Socket Library (Robey Pointer)
	Async Proxy Core (Robey Pointer, Mike Fleming)
	Async Mini-HTTP Library (Mike Fleming)
	Authentication Framework (Mike Fleming)
	Other Fixes (Robin Slomkowski, Ramiro Estugo, Fatih Demir,
	    Darin Adler, Shane Culpepper)

Ammonite is probably the only HTTP proxy with a CORBA interface.

Where do I get it?

Please -- Use with caution....
