+- Update to new upstream release 2.8.73
+  * Improved `soap_ssl_accept()` timeout settings to improve the
+    performance of gSOAP stand-alone HTTPS servers.
+  * Renamed `soap_get_http_body()` to `soap_http_get_body()` to
+    avoid name clashes with soapcpp2-generated `soap_get_T`
+    functions.
+  * Renamed `soap_get_form()` to `soap_http_get_form()` to avoid
+    name clashes with soapcpp2-generated `soap_get_T` functions.
+  * Renamed `soap_get_mime_attachment()` to
+    `soap_recv_mime_attachment()` to avoid name clashes with
+    soapcpp2-generated `soap_get_T` functions.
+  * Renamed `soap_get_stats()` to `soap_http_get_stats()` of the
+    httpget plugin to avoid name clashes with soapcpp2-generated
+    `soap_get_T` functions.
+  * Renamed `soap_get_logging_stats()` to `soap_logging_stats()`
+    of the logging plugin to avoid name clashes with
+    soapcpp2-generated `soap_get_T` functions.
+  * Moved `soap_http_get_form()`, `soap_query()`,
+    `soap_query_key()`, and `soap_query_val()` functions from the
+    httpget and httpform plugin APIs to the stdsoap2.c[pp]
+    library API. No project rebuilds should be necessary when
+    using these plugins with this upgrade.
