= New Plugins

* A websocket plugin has been added, for websocket support using
  faye-websocket.  Here's an example of a simple echo service using
  websockets:

    plugin :websocket

    route do |r|
      r.get "echo" do
        r.websocket do |ws|
          # Routing block taken for a websocket request to /echo

          # ws is a Faye::WebSocket instance, so you can use the
          # Faye::WebSocket API
          ws.on(:message) do |event|
            ws.send(event.data)
          end
        end

        # View rendered if a regular GET request to /echo
        view "echo"
      end
    end
 
* A status_handler plugin has been added, which allows Roda to
  specially handle arbitrary status codes.  Usage is similar to the
  not_found plugin (which now uses status_handler internally):

    plugin :status_handler

    status_handler 403 do
      "You are forbidden from seeing that!"
    end
    status_handler 404 do
      "Where did it go?"
    end

= Other New Features

* The assets plugin now supports a :gzip option, which will save
  gzipped versions when compiling assets.  When serving compiled
  assets, if the request accepts gzip encoding, it will serve
  the gzipped version.  This also plays nicely with nginx's
  gzip_static support.

* The assets plugin now supports Google Closure Compiler, Uglifier,
  and MinJS for minifying javascript.  You can now specify which
  css and js compressors to use via the :css_compressor and
  :js_compressor options.

= Backwards Compatibility

* Roda.plugin now always returns nil.  Previously the return value
  could be non-nil if the plugin used a configure method.
