<h2>New Features</h2>
<ul class='bullet-list'>
  <li>node v5.0 support</li>
  <li>Various documentation updates</li>
  <li>Reset logfile on startup so it's specific to the currently running instance</li>
  <li>Support tailing the log through <a href='http://<%= host %>/logs'>the UI</a></li>
  <li>No longer adding XHR requests to the logs</li>
  <li>Including all JavaScript sources locally so the site runs locally without a network connection</li>
</ul>

<h2>Bug Fixes</h2>
<ul class='bullet-list'>
  <li>No longer validating injected JavaScript functions during imposter creation.  This created
  too many edge cases that were very difficult to debug and leaked a validation abstraction to end users.</li>
</ul>

<p>Many thanks to the following kind folk for help with this release:</p>

<h2 id='windows-path-limitations'>Windows path limitations</h2>

<p><sup>*</sup>mountebank wishes very much for your Windows experience to be hassle-free, but he is simply not qualified to address
  a particular constraint of Windows Explorer.  For legacy reasons, some Windows applications, including most notably Windows Explorer,
  have a maximum number of characters allowed in a path of 260 characters.  As mountebank writes these words, the longest path he
  includes in the zip files is around 175 characters.  The zip file name, which is likely to represent itself as <i>two</i>
  nested directories if you use the defaults to unzip it, will be around 25 characters.  That gives you very little wiggle room.
  If you unzip the file in your users directory, you may very likely get an error because of this constraint.</p>

<p>The following solutions will all work:</p>

<ul class='bullet-list'>
  <li>Unzip to the root of your C: drive (or a similar small path)</li>
  <li>Use <a href='http://www.7-zip.org/'>7zip</a> to unzip the file instead of Windows Explorer</li>
  <li>Use <code>npm</code> to install mountebank instead of the zip file</li>
</ul>
