+- Update to new upstream release 2.8.60
+  * Added wsdl2h options `-O1` and `-O2` to optimize schemas
+    internally after reading WSDL and XSD files: `-O1` removes
+    duplicate members from nested choice/sequence and `-O2` also
+    removes unused schema types that are unreachable from WSDL
+    and XSD root definitions.
+  * Added ability to specify `$SIZE = TYPE` in `typemap.dat` for
+    setting `size_t` or `int` type for array sizes, see
+    [databindings](https://www.genivia.com/doc/databinding/html).
+  * Changed wsdl2h C++ source code generated for *`xs:choice
+    maxOccurs>0`* with simpler `std::vector` instead of a dynamic
+    array with size and pointer members, use wsdl2h option `-z7`
+    to revert to the old wsdl2h behavior for backward
+    compatibility.
+  * Improved soapcpp2-generated sample XML messages and fixed a
+    special case where base class namespace prefixes may be
+    rendered incorrectly in an XML sample or test message.
+  * Improved handling of nested *`xs:sequence`* in *`xs:choice`*
+    by removing duplicate name warnings, the duplicate member is
+    still generated by wsdl2h however as a reminder, but should
+    be ignored in your code. Use the new wsdl2h option `-O1` to
+    remove the duplicate member altogether.
+  * Fixed a soapcpp2 problem with bitmask enumerations of
+    QName values.
