The previous website was rather clumsy and, frankly, it scared even the cockroaches.
This new design is easier to the eyes and, hopefully, it provides better usability.
If any bugs are found, please inform.

Bugfixes only:

• Fixed non-POSIX behavior which brought problems with eglibc.
• Fixed Safari HTTP authentication problem.
