update to latest jschannel - closes #534 (innocuous console errors when messages are posted to the frame where include.js is loaded that do not have valid JSON as a payload)

run mysql tests *first* (they're more important), and if we can connect to db but browserid table doesn't exist, we still have db connectivity and can run tests

remove process.exit() from loadgen upon email addition failure.  loadgen shouldn't stop till it reaches the top.

disable http agent in http_forward - it has been capping us at five simul forwarded requests per backend process (dbwriter, keysigner)

(loadgen) optimization - re-use assertions to generate synthetic load without the client compute cost

fix regression in keysigner - ensure non-default VAR_PATH is relayed to compute processes - issue #213

tiny optimization to test running.  don't have the script that checks for db connectivity create any tables

remove the deep __heartbeat__ checks performed from browserid (the webhead), while dbwriter should ping the database to ensure health - closes #566

improve node.js version checking.  eliminate DRY violation, and use semver for robust version specification and matching.  nice yak, eh?

express our dependency on nodejs >= 0.6.3 in package.json and in code.  (note: I'm not sure package.json actually does anything useful, but it's a good place to document it)c

(loadgen) fix console output at startup - properly message # of pre-created users or users to be created via API

plumb in middleware to send request logs to statsd

wait for onload to fix FF home issue - and maybe even the android with no default browser setup issue - #595

read NODE_EXTRA_CONFIG after we setup g_configs.test_*

(loadgen) add '-l' option to list activites, and '-a' option to specify a list of activites to run (ignoring others).  simplify '-o' so all this stuff uses the same mechanism

* Change the text from "use another" to "use another email address"
* Make the link bold so that it stands out.

issue #623

* Stop propagation of the event so that the event is not captured higher up.
* If logout fails, print an error message

close #666.
issue #630.

(loadgen) include-only activity properly returns errors accoring to new error conventions (undefined means success)
