49 ** --wsesslog option added to support log-file based session
50 specification (contributed by Dick Carter).
51
52 ** --period option added to allow a more flexible way to specify
53 session/connection interarrival time. Unlike the --rate
54 argument, this allows deterministic (fixed), uniform, and
55 exponentially distributed interarrival times (contributed by Dick
56 Carter).

70 ** What used to be called a "session" is now called a "connection". This
71 reduces confusion between TCP connections and user sessions.
72
73 ** Stephane's log-file based URL generated has been added.
74
75 ** The session workload generator now supports the --burst-length
76 parameter to generate bursty session.
