curl-loader 0.45 released

Curl-loader is a powerful C-written web application testing and load generating tool. It uses HTTP, FTP and TLS/SSL stacks, simulating tens of thousand users / clients each with own IP-address. The goal is to provide an alternative to Spirent Avalanche and Ixia IxLoad.

The version includes performance improvements.

* Advanced to libevent-1.4.4, which is supposed to deliver better performance for high loads

* Corrected the patch changing the NEVENT number. The patch was not applied in previous versions, limiting the number of virtual clients to only 32K
