New release is getting ready

Hi,
   although there is no dates planned nor any release
candidate/beta/alpha/whatever my TODO list for the release is getting
shorter! As somebody would have noted I mostly updated documentation
to reflect changes.

The only big point left is SSL certificate check (there are no code at
all although I'll have a look at curl implementation and there are
explanation on how to test). I want this in the release as it is a no
back compatible change so is better to have in a release.

Any help or test is really appreciated.
