* the configurable HTTP health check introduced in 1.1.23 revealed a shameful
bug : the code still assumed that HTTP requests were the same size as the
original ones (22 bytes), and failed if they were not.
* added support for pidfiles.
* added the 'tcplog' option, which provides enhanced, HTTP-like logs for
generic TCP proxies, or lighter logs for HTTP proxies.
* fixed a time-out condition wrongly reported as client time-out in data
phase if the client timeout was lower than the connect timeout times the
number of retries.
* doc: added some precisions about the log timers
* if a client sent a full request then shut its write connection down, then
the request was aborted. This case was detected only when using haproxy
both as health-check client and as a server.
* if 'option httpchk' is used in a 'health' mode server, then responses will
change from 'OK' to 'HTTP/1.0 200 OK'.
* fixed a Linux-only bug in case of HTTP server health-checks, where a single
server response followed by a close could be ignored, and the server seen
as failed.
* renamed 'haproxy.txt' to 'haproxy-fr.txt'
* large documentation and examples cleanups
* fixed a stupid bug introduced in 1.1.22 which caused second and subsequent
'default' sections to keep previous parameters, and not initialize logs
correctly.
* fixed a second stupid bug introduced in 1.1.22 which caused configurations
relying on 'dispatch' mode to segfault at the first connection.
* 'option httpchk' now supports method, HTTP version and a few headers.
* now, 'option httpchk', 'cookie' and 'capture' can be specified in
'defaults' section
* a fresh new english documentation
* large Makefile cleanup for increased portability
* new build script 'build.cfg' for Formilux-0.1.8
* new startup script 'init.haproxy.flx0' for Formilux-0.1.8
