+- Rewrite of the proxy where Channels are pooled rather than connections. When a client opens a channel it will get a channel on a shared upstream connection, the proxy will remap the channel numbers between the two. Many client connections can therefor share a single upstream connection. Upside is that way fewer connections are needed to the upstream server, downside is that if there's a misbehaving client, for which the server closes the connection, all channels for other clients on that shared connection will also be closed.

 In our benchmarks publishing one message per connection to a server (using TLS) with a round-trip latency of 50ms, takes on avarage 10ms using the proxy and 500ms without. You can read more about the proxy here [Maintaining long-lived connections with AMQProxy](https://www.cloudamqp.com/blog/2019-05-29-maintaining-long-lived-connections-with-AMQProxy.html)
 
+As of version 2.0.0 connections to the server can be shared by multiple client connections. When a client opens a channel it will get a channel on a shared upstream connection, the proxy will remap the channel numbers between the two. Many client connections can therefor share a single upstream connection. The benefit is that way fewer connections are needed to the upstream server. For instance, establihsing 10.000 connections after a server reboot might normally take several minutes, but with this proxy it can happen in seconds.
