This is a bug-fix release.  There a several design issues and feature 
requests which I'll start working on nrxt, so don't despair if your

The priority for this release was tackling the various bugs reported
in processing of ill-formed headers.

By popular demand, diffs from the previous release have been omitted.

great nations.          -- David Friedman
