Re: [libmicrohttpd] next release

[Tim Rühsen]

Hi Christian,

thanks for the advice. For developing I have no issues since I use
latest software. But for automated scripts testing on stable releases,
everybody now has to change their scripts. That quiet some work alone
over here for all those CI runners and for automated fuzzing.

So I just thought to tell you in case you mind.

BTW, I just think about changing scripts to build MHD from tarball...
and see that
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libmicrohttpd/libmicrohttpd-latest.tar.gz still
has version 0.9.59 in it.

Doesn't that automatically update when uploading to ftp.gnu.org !?

Regards, Tim
