[Version 4.4-experimental]
- Added multithreading code. Should improve performance at a cost of stability.

[Version 4.3 - March 31, 2017]
- Fixed console hardlock when shutting down while a client is connected.
- Fixed various memory leaks.
- Significantly improved performance of multiple simultaneous transfers.
- Significantly improved performance of directory searching and listing.
- Improved general server performance and stability through code optimizations.

[Version 4.2b - March 26, 2017]
- Removed developer FTP command interface, for now.
- Implemented NTFS support, with auto-mounting code.
- Various network code optimizations.

[Version 4.2a - March 5, 2017]
- Rebased standalone app server code to sprx plugin server code.
  * OpenPS3FTP standalone and sprx now share the same server code.

- Fixed various crashes that existed in version 4.2

[Version 4.2 - February 13, 2017]
- Reverted removal of APPE command.
- Added some additional standard FTP commands.
- Rewrote server engine to be able to compile on Linux, CELL, and PSL1GHT.
  * This makes for easier debugging, so this release should be expected to
    perform much better (and hopefully bug-free) than earlier versions.
  * With the new codebase, developers can now easily add their own commands
    without having to worry about affecting the server engine. The command
    system is now designed to be "plugin-based".
- Removed asynchronous IO. No real benefits were found after thorough testing.
- Vastly improved stability of multiple connections.
  * 10 simultaneous connections in FileZilla is tested to be stable!
- Fixed a bad bug in 4.1 causing connections to drop when downloading files.

[Version 4.1 - February 4, 2017]
- Removed support for APPE command.
- Implemented a new simple UI.
- Source can now be compiled as a PSL1GHT static library.
- Source can now be compiled as a CELLSDK static library.
- Implemented asynchronous IO writing. May improve stability in some cases.
  * By default, this is disabled. You can toggle this using the command "AIO".
- Implemented internal IO caching. May improve performance in some cases.
- Improved single-file transfer performance compared to previous versions.
- Slightly improved transfer performance when using multiple connections.
- Implemented additional error checking to prevent potential crashes.
- Fixed most if not all instances of "completed" stuck file transfers.
- Fixed a long-standing bug that caused the network stack to crash when
  performing a large number of data operations in a short amount of time.
  * This bug apparently exists on all current FTP homebrew servers.
