Description:
    Conary 1.1.24 is a maintenance release.
    
    New Feature:
     o  Conary 1.1.24 introduces the framework needed to implement a
        new metadata design for Conary. The new metadata feature allows
        various information such as description to be set for a trove. New
        XML-RPC interfaces, getNewTroveInfo() and setTroveInfo(), have
        been added to facilitate mirroring metadata. addMetadataItems()
        has been added to allow metadata to be added to a trove after it
        has been built. (CNY-1577)
    
    Client Changes:
     o  The Conary client now distinguishes between an upstream Conary
        proxy and a plain HTTP proxy. This is so we can properly handle SSL
        traffic through an HTTP proxy using the CONNECT HTTP method. As
        such, there is now a "conaryProxy" configuration variable, in
        addition to the "proxy" variable. (CNY-1550)
     o  The "proxy" (and newly introduced "conaryProxy") variables can
        be turned off by setting them to "None". (CNY-1378)
     o  Clients requesting the inclusion of configuration files
        residing on the network now upload their version. This opens up
        the possibility for the server to serve different configuration
        files to different client generations. (CNY-1588)
     o  Configuration variables "localRollbacks" and "pinTroves"
        get used as defaults when applying an update job; they can be
        explicitly overridden. (CNY-1583)
    
    Bug Fixes:
     o  A bug in the way the proxy configuration variable is set has
        been fixed. (CNY-1586)
     o  A bug that caused a traceback when rolling back group updates
        from rollback changesets created when the "localRollback"
        configuration option was set has been fixed. (CNY-1590)
     o  A bug that caused a traceback when applying a local rollback
        changeset with a locally modified file has been fixed. Conary
        needed to create the directory that the locally modified file
        resides in first. (CNY-1444)
