Release highlights:

- Fixed Group.join() to handle raise_error=True properly, it used to raise TypeError (issue #36). Thanks to by David Hain.
- Fixed gevent.wsgi and gevent.pywsgi to join multiple Cookie headers (issue #40).

gevent.socket module:
- Overrode socket.shutdown() method to interrupt read/write operations on socket.
- Fixed possible NameError in socket.connect_ex() method. Patch by Alexey Borzenkov.
- Fixed socket leak in create_connection() function.
- Made gevent.socket import all public items from stdlib socket that do not do I/O.
gevent.ssl module:
- Imported a number of patches from stdlib by Antoine Pitrou:
- Calling makefile() method on an SSL object would prevent the underlying socket from being closed until all objects get truely destroyed (Python issue #5238).
- SSL handshake would ignore the socket timeout and block indefinitely if the other end didn’t respond (Python issue #5103).
- When calling getpeername() in SSLSocket.__init__, only silence exceptions caused by the “socket not connected” condition.
- Added support for ciphers argument.
- Updated SSLSocket.send and SSLSocket.recv methods to match the behavior of stdlib ssl better.
- Fixed ssl.SSLObject to delete events used by other greenlets when closing the instance (issue #34).
Miscellaneous:
- Made BaseServer accept long values as pool argument in addition to int.
- Made http._requests attribute public.
- Updated webchat example to use file on disk rather than in-memory sqlite database to avoid OperationalError.
- Fixed webproxy.py example to be runnable under external WSGI server.
- Fixed bogus failure in test__exc_info.py.
- Added new test to check PEP8 conformance: xtest_pep8.py.
- Fixed BackdoorServer close the connection on SystemExit and simplified the code.
- Made Pool raise ValueError when initialized with size=0.
- Updated setup.py --libevent to configure and make libevent if it’s not built already.
- Updated setup.py to use setuptools if present and add dependency on greenlet.
- Fixed doc/mysphinxext.py to work with Sphinx 1. Thanks by Örjan Persson.
