The Grinder 3.8: significant bug in HTTP recording

The Grinder 3.8 has a bug in its HTTP recording. The script references
to HTTP headers are generated incorrectly, usually resulting in an
invalid script.

This is tracked as bug 3511553
(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3511553&group_id=18598&atid=118598).

This is the second time in recent history I've released The Grinder with
a significant new bug. I'm going to have to improve my release QA,
perhaps with some volunteer beta testing.

The Grinder 3.7 is released

The Grinder 3.7 can be downloaded from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/grinder

Logback logging. Clojure script recording. Bug fixes. Maven build.

- Phil

The Grinder 3.7
---------------

   Changes that may be incompatible with existing scripts:

    Implement feature request 3418525 - Switch to a standard logging
    framework. The net.grinder.common.Logger/FilenameFactory API has
    been removed in favor of SLF4J. Output and error messages are
    logged to a single log file. The log file and the data log file are
    managed by Logback.

    The Grinder requires Java SE 6 ("Java 6") or later. Java SE 5 is no
    longer supported.

   Other changes:

    The Java instrumenter supports selective instrumentation of a
    target object through an overloaded version of Test.record(). The
    full HTTPRequest interface can be used with DCR instrumentation
    without requiring a replacement for the traditional instrumenter's
    __target__.
