Pike 8.0.240 Release notes

The SSL client code now interprets the RFCs more leniently to address some interoperability issues.

Multiple fixes for the handling of accelerated Filesystem.Monitor monitors, which could sometimes lose notifications.
Improved handling of response content-length in Protocols.HTTP.Query.
Fixed case where unfinished programs could lose their parents.
Fixed “Invalid service”-error from connect() on Fedora Core 4.
Fixed next_result() in Sql.sql_array_result.
Fixed sizeof() in Array.Iterator, Multiset.Iterator and String.Iterator.

Multiple fixes for building on Solaris.
Improved scanning for Odbc header files.
