- remove the version numbers
- simplify the texts
The date and version number will be put there for releases when maketgz
runs the updatemanpages.pl script.
Closes#11029
- 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
- Remove misleading text that says progress function "gets called at
least once per second, even if the connection is paused."
The progress function behavior is more nuanced and the user is better
served reading the progress function doc rather than attempt to explain
it in the curl_easy_pause doc.
The progress function can only be called at least once per second if an
appropriate multi transfer function is called (eg curl_multi_perform) in
that time. For a paused transfer there may not be such a call. Rather
than explain this in detail in the curl_easy_pause doc, rely on the user
reading the CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION doc.

Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
This is the same order we already enforce among the options' man pages:
consistency is good. Add lots of previously missing examples.
Adjust the manpage-syntax script for this purpose, used in test 1173.
Closes#7904
Paused transfers should not be stopped due to slow speed even when
CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT is set. Additionally, the slow speed timer is
now reset when the transfer is unpaused - as otherwise it would easily
just trigger immediately after unpausing.

Make sure that we detect such attempts and return a proper error code
instead of silently handling this in problematic ways.
Updated the documentation to mention this limitation.
