+- updated to 2.98.0 (2.098)
+   see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-IO-Socket-SSL/Changes
+
+  2.098 2026/01/06
+  - Another fix to issue #175 to make sure that an unblessed sockets gets
+    blessed in place instead of using new_from_fd. Document that it will
+    not retain original class with unblessed sockets on error, since this
+    never worked anyway (there is no native unbless)
+  2.097 2026/01/06
+  - fix issue #175 with upgrading from plain socket (no object) by using
+    correct fdopen mode +< instead of <+
+  2.096 2026/01/04
+  - Allow stacking TLS layers with SSL_usebio
+    This also allows LWP (after patches) to access https site through TLS
+    enabled proxy
