Name        : libmicrohttpd
Product     : Fedora EPEL 5
Version     : 0.9.7
Release     : 1.el5
URL         : http://www.gnu.org/software/libmicrohttpd/
Summary     : Lightweight library for embedding a webserver in applications
Description :
GNU libmicrohttpd is a small C library that is supposed to make it
easy to run an HTTP server as part of another application.
Key features that distinguish libmicrohttpd from other projects are:

* C library: fast and small
* API is simple, expressive and fully reentrant
* Implementation is http 1.1 compliant
* HTTP server can listen on multiple ports
* Support for IPv6
* Support for incremental processing of POST data
* Creates binary of only 25k (for now)
* Three different threading models

Update Information:

Upgrade libmicrohttpd to latest upstream release 0.9.7. Besides several bugfixes, this also removes the internally used GnuTLS version, removing the possibility of security problems in this component (no longer maintained within libmicrohttpd).

This involves an ABI bump which is necessary for the reasons outlined above.

The only depending package Fawkes has been upgraded to the latest upstream release 0.4.2 which contains several bugfixes and improvements.
