+Release 1.1.9 on 01/15/2013
+
+Changes made since 1.1.8
+* Asynchronous socket checkout improvements
+  * Changed checkout behavior of KeyedResourcePool to only create new
+    connections when there are no resources available (rather than
+    creating new connections until the pool is full).
+  * Changed QueuedKeyedResourcePool.reset behavior to better match
+    KeyedResourcePool (i.e., to not cancel queued asynchronous
+    requests unnecessarily).
+  * Removed (unnecessary) synchronization primitives from keyed resource pool
+  * Reduce granularity of failure detector locking within ThresholdFailureDetector
+* Minor features/improvements
+  * Less verbose logging in the face of expected exceptions and errors
+  * Refactored (Queued)KeyedResourcePoolTest
+* Bug fixes
+  * Fixed possible race condition for resource creation in KeyedResourcePool
+  * More efficient (time & space) and simpler Histogram implementation
+    with improved tests.
