*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***

0.4.X is the last minor version to support the Hixie protocol. 0.5.0
will drop the Hixie protocol support. The latest released version of
all major browsers (and web-socket-js) support the IETF 6455 protocol.

- Other changes: add 'include/' sub-dir to source distribution and to
  installed packaged.

### WebSockets binary data
Websockify supports all versions of the WebSockets protocol (Hixie and
HyBi). The older Hixie versions of the protocol only support UTF-8
text payloads. In order to transport binary data over UTF-8 an
encoding must used to encapsulate the data within UTF-8.
Websockify 0.4.X supports all versions of the WebSockets protocol
(Hixie and HyBi). Starting with websockify 0.5.0, only the HyBi / IETF
6455 WebSocket protocol is supported.
With Hixie clients, Websockify uses base64 to encode all traffic to
and from the client. This does not affect the data between websockify
and the server.
