-    It's been a few months since I release the 1.4.3 version.  That's
-a bit longer than I want to take with this release (which I originally
-thought would be released a week after the 1.4.3 release in November
-21, 2001 :), but my real life kind of intruded on the project.
-Anyway, this release doesn't add any new features or functions; it's
-basically a bug fix and standard compliance release.  A few
-portability bugs have been fixed, and I've rewritten a few request
-processing functions to make them more compliant with the HTTP
-standard.
-
-    Now, I've tested the request related code personally with all the
-configurations I can think of, but I can't claim that it will work
-perfectly with _every_ configuration and _every_ site.  So, please
-give these pre-releases a thorough testing and let me know if there
-any problems you've noticed.
