Hi,

I've released v0.9.0:
ftp://ferret.lmh.ox.ac.uk/pub/linux/vsftpd-0.9.0.tar.gz

The version numbering change reflects that this version is very close to a
v1.0 release. Since this is the case, now would be an ideal time for some
keen auditor to take a look..? I like double checking ;-)

Changes
- New signal handler framework/API, no more potential races / re-entrancy
issues.
- Eliminate possible server processes hanging around if client goes away
at the wrong time.
- New ports: Solaris 2.6, HP-UX 10/11, IRIX 6.5
- Add the MDTM command - ncftp can now set the timestamp on a downloaded
file properly. - Add "-R" recurse command to "ls" (config option, OFF by
default). Needed for broken clients that assume it is present, e.g. ncftp
and _especially_ mirror.
- Lots of cleanups

Cheers
Chris
