What's New in This Release:
· This version of the Riverdrums Load Balancer concentrates on separating the buffers used for holding data from the connection structures used for tracking client/server sockets.
· It enables optimal allocation and closing of data channels and more efficient connection management.
· Additionally, several conditions relating to full buffers were catered for, and socket closure is more aggressive.
