+* New in version 0.7:
 ** New options (see man-page for details):
 	--add-header
 	--method
 	--retry-on-failure
-
 ** Bug fixes
 	- fixed some segfaults in the session workload generator
 	- specifying option --session-cookie when not using a session
 	  workload generator now prints an error message instead of
 	  core dumping

+* New in version 0.6:
 ** New options (see man-page for details):
 	--max-connections
 	--max-piped-calls
 	--print-replies
 	--session-cookies
-
 ** Cookie support now must be requested explicitly when using a session-based
    workload generator.  To do this, specify option --session-cookie.
-
+
 * New in version 0.5:
 
 ** Normal connection closing is the default again.  To request closing TCP
    connections with a RESET, specify option --close-with-reset.
-
 ** --wsesslog option added to support log-file based session
    specification (contributed by Dick Carter).
-
 ** --period option added to allow a more flexible way to specify
    session/connection interarrival time.  Unlike the --rate
    argument, this allows deterministic (fixed), uniform, and
    exponentially distributed interarrival times (contributed by Dick
    Carter).
-
 ** Various bug fixes (see ChangeLog for details).

    used in sending requests. 1.0 and 1.0 are the only allowed values
    for this option at this point.
-
 ** What used to be called a "session" is now called a "connection".  This
    reduces confusion between TCP connections and user sessions.
-
 ** Stephane's log-file based URL generated has been added.
-
 ** The session workload generator now supports the --burst-length
    parameter to generate bursty session.

 Some ideas (contributions/patches welcome):
 
+- port to libevent to improve scalability and deal with the file descriptor cap
+- Add option to output results as rdf (xml), cvs or default
+- Add ability to read entire POST and GET messages from logs and send them
 - wsesspage: don't fetch same object more than once (assume the existence
   of a cache)---this avoids trouble with recursive pages
 - make httperf easier to use; some ideas:
