+ - Autodetect support for IPv6 by default: Until now, IPv6 support was disabled
+ by default, which seems a bit outdated in 2024. Note: You still can pass
+ "--enable-ipv6"/"--disable-ipv6" to the ./configure script to forcefully
+ activate or deactivate IPv6 support.
- Update config.guess and config.sub to recent versions
- Remove the unmaintained contrib/MacOSX/ folder: this includes the Xcode
project as well as the outdated macOS "Package Maker" configuration. The
Enable support for SSL/TLS using OpenSSL or GnuTLS libraries.
See `doc/SSL.txt` for details.
