Version 8.1.0 [devel] 2013-11-??
+- rewritten core engine for higher performance and new features
+ In detail:
+ * completely rewritten rule execution engine
+ * completely changed output module interface
+ * remodelled output module interface
+ * enabled important output modules to support full concurrent

+ features planned for v8, but is close to this goal. In theory, the
+ engine should perform much better, especially on complex configurations
+ and busy servers. Most importantly, actions instances can now be called
+ concurrently from worker threads and many important output modules
+ support multiple concurrent action instances natively.

statement. Also, it can still be build without problems, the option must
