2017-09-04	Fix more documentation todos	Loïc Hoguin
	I have decided not to include a manual page for cowboy_stream_h at this point because it clashes with the cowboy_stream manual page. This decision will be revisited in the future.
2017-07-20	Remove cowboy_sub_protocol from the documentation	Loïc Hoguin
	This will be reintroduced in a future release once the interface stabilizes. For the time being it will be an internal module only.

2017-02-18	Allow passing options to sub protocols	Loïc Hoguin
	Before this commit we had an issue where configuring a Websocket connection was simply not possible without doing magic, adding callbacks or extra return values. The init/2 function only allowed setting hibernate and timeout options. After this commit, when switching to a different type of handler you can either return {module, Req, State} or {module, Req, State, Opts} where Opts is any value (as far as the sub protocol interface is concerned) and is ultimately checked by the custom handlers. A large protocol like Websocket would accept only a map there, with many different options, while a small interface like loop handlers would allow passing hibernate and nothing else. For Websocket, hibernate must be set from the websocket_init/1 callback, because init/2 executes in a separate process. Sub protocols now have two callbacks: one with the Opts value, one without. The loop handler code was largely reworked and simplified. It does not need to manage a timeout or read from the socket anymore, it's the job of the protocol code. A lot of unnecessary stuff was therefore removed. Websocket compression must now be enabled from the handler options instead of per listener. This means that a project can have two separate Websocket handlers with different options. Compression is still disabled by default, and the idle_timeout value was changed from inifnity to 60000 (60 seconds), as that's safer and is also a good value for mobile devices.
2016-12-23	Leave a few manual pages for post 2.0.0-pre.4	Loïc Hoguin
	In particular the cowboy_sub_protocol is subject to change soon. Also the cowboy_stream behavior is going to be left hidden in this release and enabled when it becomes easier to chain them.
2016-09-29	Tweak the one-liner description of the project	Loïc Hoguin

2016-09-25	Tweak the cowboy(7) manual	Loïc Hoguin

2016-09-25	Update the cowboy(7) manual	Loïc Hoguin
	It now links to all modules found in the manual and can therefore easily act as an index for the application.
2016-01-14	Convert the documentation to Asciidoc	Loïc Hoguin
	A few small revisions were made, and Erlang.mk has been updated.
