to the clients will be managed by the same physical connection.

List of changes

Some bugs were fixed, mainly concerning high-traffic sites:
- A memory leak when releasing user sessions.
- A file descriptor that was sometimes not closed.

These bugs had little impact on low and medium-traffic sites, but it is
recommended to migrate to the new version.

If you have an old expershop, you may have some minor problems to migrate:
In case of trouble during the migration phase, e-mail us.
