=============

Release: Prayer 1.0.17

Fix small foulup wuth gethostbyname() calculations when binding Prayer
to specific interfaces.

Cleanups to stop char vs unsigned char warnings with latest c-client.

Make sure that all internal draft messages consistently use CRLF.

Security audit for Prayer frontend following attack:
  Optional Chroot environment (See chroot options in config file).
  Stripped out debugging code.
