Prior to 7.75.0 response headers were not printed if -f/--fail was used
and an error was reported by server. This was fixed in ab525c0
(precedes 7.75.0).
Closes#11822
- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING
checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
The keyword specifies how option works when specified multiple times:
- single: the last provided value replaces the earlier ones
- append: it supports being provided multiple times
- boolean: on/off values
- mutex: flag-like option that disable anoter flag
The 'gen.pl' script then outputs the proper and unified language for
each option's multi-use behavior in the generated man page.
The multi: header is requires in each .d file and will cause build error
if missing or set to an unknown value.
Closes#9759
Since "too old" versions are no longer included in the generated man
page, this field is now mandatory so that it won't be forgotten and then
not included in the documentation.
Closes#7786
The file format for each option now features a "Example:" header that
can provide one or more examples that get rendered appropriately in the
output. All options MUST have at least one example or gen.pl complains
at build-time.
This fix also does a few other minor format and consistency cleanups.
Closes#7654
