Major aiohttp 0.17.0 release

Actually it doesn't introduce many new features but has a lot of bug fixes.

New features are

  patch() coroutines

• Make StaticRoute supporting Last-Modified and If-Modified-Since headers
• Pass SSL context through proxy connector

Also please take a look on documentation: http://aiohttp.readthedocs.org/en/stable/ now has a comment section (powered by disqus) on the bottom of every page. We hope your comments will increase docs quality very well.

aiohttp 0.15.2 release

I am happy to announce new release of aiohttp. We did a lot of performance optimizations for new release.
It should be 50-70% faster in raw performance than previous version. Numbers look very cool, but for those who uses aiohttp in production situation slightly different, it won't give more than 1-2% of performance increase.
