+Release 0.7.1.2, 21 March 2012
+
+* The Modify action now supports replacing a header based on a regex in the value field.
+  Any string in the value for a Modify action which matches the form /foo/bar/ triggers the code.
+  foo can be a regular expression and bar is the string which replaces the match.
+  Example: 
+    Action: Modify
+    Name: Host
+    Value: {^w{0,3}\.?domain.com$}{192.168.254.65}
+    This will change www.domain.com and domain.com to 192.168.254.65 if found in the Host header.
+	(Updated 28th)
