## HTTP PROXY

When installing a new rack, users are now able to specify the `--http-proxy` flag. With the proxy in place, rack will use it for all outbound requests.

```auto
convox install --http-proxy http://example.com:9000

```

## MySQL Versioning

In addition to setting the default engine version to 5.7.16, which has broader region support, the `--version` option has been added to specify an ideal version if needed.

```auto
convox resources create mysql --version 5.7.10

```
