Subject: [ANN] net-http-pipeline 1.0

net-http-pipeline version 1.0 has been released!

* http://seattlerb.rubyforge.org/net-http-pipeline
* http://github.com/drbrain/net-http-pipeline

An HTTP/1.1 pipelining implementation atop Net::HTTP.  A pipelined connection
sends multiple requests to the HTTP server without waiting for the responses.
The server will respond in-order.

== Example:

  require 'net/http/pipeline'

  Net::HTTP.start 'localhost' do |http|
    req1 = Net::HTTP::Get.new '/'
    req2 = Net::HTTP::Get.new '/'
    req3 = Net::HTTP::Get.new '/'

    http.pipeline [req1, req2, req3] do |res|
      puts res.code
      puts res.body[0..60].inspect
      puts
    end
  end

=== 1.0 / 2011-03-29

* API change
  * Net::HTTP::Pipeline#pipeline requires an Array of Net::HTTPRequests now.
* Major enhancement
  * If a sequence of requests contains a non-idempotent request #pipeline now
    waits for a response to the previous request.
* Minor enhancements
  * Check for HTTP/1.1 and persistent connections before attempting
    pipelining
  * Added Net::HTTP#persistent= to avoid pipelining-capability check.
