Curb 0.0.4 is now available from the curb project on Rubyforge  
([http://curb.rubyforge.org](http://curb.rubyforge.org)). Curb provides nice, easy to use Ruby  
bindings to the libcurl URL transfer library.

This release proves that old Curb adage (that I just invented): “If you  
need it, either patch it or ask for it”, introducing support for  
libcurl’s various timeout options in response to a nicely-worded request  
from Chris Gahan. I’m now poised, ready to pounce, on any further  
feature or fix request that comes my way.

There are also bugfixes and API changes - the usual early-developmental  
melee you know and love. Come on over and download it today!
