Siege: 4.2.0-b4

Siege 4.2.0 beta 4 has just been released. Exciting!

This version includes a bug fix for SIGSEGV on SIGINT during warning messages. That fix is courtesy dotacow.

Beta 4 also includes a major cookie overhaul that improves cookie handling on a per-thread basis. Namely this fixes or improves the following problems:
 

  • pthread_self ownership issues. Thread IDs were easy to implement but hard to maintain is complexity grew
  • Persistent cookie duplication. We change the way they're stored in ~/.siege/cookies.txt
  • Path matching/default mismatch. 
  • 403 -> POST auth URL consumption
     

You can find a tarball release of beta-4 here.
