See the release announcement:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libmicrohttpd/2020-06/msg00013.html
Note that 'int' should be 'enum' on a binary level, so the library
remains *binary compatible*, but for C++ compilers and/or compiling C
code without warnings, a very minor adjustment (change return type to
'enum') is needed.
The release announcement also includes a hint for how to make code
compile against both older and newer versions of the API.
