[usocket-devel] Release 0.4.0

[Douglas Crosher]

Hello Erik,

Thank you for the update.

The nodelay socket option can be supported in the Scieneer CL.  It may also
be useful to add this option to 'socket-accept, or perhaps split this out
into a separate function that can be used to enable or disable the Nagle
algorithm.

The Scieneer CL streams support both the timeout and the deadline, but also
allow these to be reset and for the remaining time to be read which is important
for many applications.  For example a web server can reset the deadline at
the start of a new request.  So perhaps this functionality could be split out
from 'socket-connect.

Regards
Douglas Crosher
