echoping now uses a numbering scheme analog to the Linux kernel one's. Even versions like 2.2 are stable (or supposed to), odd versions like 2.1 are unstable, beta. 2.2.1 : Portability fixes 2.2 : Stable release, apart from ICP 2.0.1 -> 2.1.0 : Timeouts even on TCP connections. Support of HTTP 1.1 2.0.0 -> 2.0.1 : Bug with getservbyname for HTTP connections fixed. 1.3 -> 2.0.0 : HTTP support. For testing of Web servers and Web proxies. Much better portability.
