[ANNOUNCE] uWSGI 0.9.8.2

[Roberto De Ioris]

Hi everyone,

i am pleased to announce the second maintenance release for uWSGI 0.9.8

This release focuses on a better Spooler, binary file embedding in server core and support for
plugins/apps written in C++

* 0.9.8.2 [20110719]

- fixed an ini and yaml parsing bug spotted by Raffaele Colace
- spooler has been extremely improved

the 'at' and 'body' options have been added to allows executing task at specific time
and to attach big data (>64K) to a task.

The spooler can now execute signal handlers.

- new option --chown-socket

you can set specific owner for unix signals (if started as root) with --chown-socket user:group

- added uwsgidecorators for elegant uwsgi api access from python
