[libmicrohttpd] libmicrohttpd 0.9.45 released

[Christian Grothoff]

Dear all,

I'm happy to announce the release of libmicrohttpd 0.9.45, which
is mostly a bugfix release.

GNU libmicrohttpd is a small C library that is supposed to make it easy
to run an HTTP server as part of another application. GNU libmicrohttpd
is fully HTTP 1.1 compliant and supports IPv6. Finally, GNU
libmicrohttpd is fast, portable and has a simple API and (without TLS
support and other optional features) a small binary size (~32k).

This release adds support for specifying a bitmask with multiple bits
set to MHD_get_connection_values() --- and then still returns the
correct "kind" value to the callback. A transient resource leak for very
long-lived pipelined connections was resolved, as well as a race on
shutdown in thread-per-connection mode which rarely triggered an
assertion under certain circumstances. We also fixed compilation errors
involving applications using deprecated functions from the MHD API with
certain older versions of GCC.  Some duplicated code in parsing URI
arguments was deduplicated.
