Version 1.7

• Add support for HHVM and PHP 7

  Requests is now tested against both HHVM and PHP 7, and they are supported as
  first-party platforms.

  (props @rmccue, #106, #176)

• Transfer & connect timeouts, in seconds & milliseconds

  cURL is unable to handle timeouts under a second in DNS lookups, so we round
  those up to ensure 1-999ms isn't counted as an instant failure.

  (props @ozh, @rmccue, #97, #216)

• Rework cookie handling to be more thorough.

  Cookies are now restricted to the same-origin by default, expiration is checked.

  (props @catharsisjelly, @rmccue, #120, #124, #130, #132, #156)

• Improve testing

  Tests are now run locally to speed them up, as well as further general
  improvements to the quality of the testing suite. There are now also
  comprehensive proxy tests to ensure coverage there.

  (props @rmccue, #75, #107, #170, #177, #181, #183, #185, #196, #202, #203)

  supported across all transports.
