Parentselection now also supports failover retries, where you can retry requests against a different parent in case the parent is unavailable ordoes not have the desired content. See the "parent_retry" option in parent.config.
There are some better instrumentation for memory debugging, including running with Address Sanitizer, and OpenSSL.
