Rework the assertions:
    Do it in the right order
    Do not put str*cmp-that-could-be-a-ugly-glibc-macro in assert()

seems to work.

Add NEWS about HTTP access supporting Digest Auth and gzip compressed content. (Do we also need to add stuff about the cookies forwarding?)

Fixed the last.fm settings (items weren't enabled properly) and added an additional note to the Caching level selector explaining the 'Custom' entry.

Fix for [oCERT-2008-004] multiple speex implementations insufficient boundary checks. Patch by Eren Türkay

fixed misc/stats.c:399: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned in function '__stats_TimerClean'
