This is announcement of a new major version of LFTP.
News since last version (2.5.4):
* separated rate limitations for download and upload (set limit-rate 200:100).
* added SSL certificate support and several SSL related settings.
* connection slot support. Now you can switch sessions with Meta-[123...]
or with command `slot <name>'. You can also use slot:<name> as a pseudo-URL.
* per-slot queues. Now you can have several queues for the same site using
different slots.
* queue can be stopped now. Use `queue' with no args to create a stopped
queue, `queue start' to run it, `queue stop' to stop it. When you exit lftp,
the queue will start automatically.
* mirror now appends source base name to target if target ends with a slash.
* improved hftp:proxy setting. Now it defaults to http:proxy and is not
needed if ftp:proxy is set to `http://...'.
* fixed mirror in case of server without MDTM command (Glenn Maynard).
* mirror could start multiple transfers if it could not cd to a direcory,
even without --parallel (test case by Glenn Maynard).
* fixed fd leak in `(commands)' structure (Glenn Maynard).
* fixed memory leak in '(commands)'.
