Skulls! Multi-Network WebCache

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: Skulls 0.2.6

Notes:
WARNING
I STRONGLY SUGGEST you use a CNAME for the cache such as http://gwc.your-site.com/skulls.php
So if you ever want to take it down all you will have to do is delete the CNAME.

P2P clients have long memories, it takes a long time (maybe forever) until the name of your cache has vanished.
If you don't follow this warning you will still be hit by cache requests after you have stopped running the cache.
