Version 0.4 of the scgi package is now available from:
  http://www.mems-exchange.org/software/scgi/

The SCGI protocol is a replacement for the Common Gateway Interface
(CGI) protocol.  It is a standard for applications to interface with
HTTP servers.  It is similar to FastCGI but is designed to be easier to
implement.

Included in this package is mod_scgi, an Apache module that implements
the client side of the protocol.  There is also a a Python package
called scgi which implements the server side of the protocol.


Changes in scgi 0.4
-------------------

  quixote_handler.py

    * Make debug() message a little more useful when we catch IOError on
      closing connection.

   scgi_server.py

    * Fix a bug that caused the manager process to hang.  The hang
      was trigged when the maximum number of child processes were
      running and one died while the manager was trying to find an idle
      child to process a request.
