-- Add gsoap-02-accept.diff
+- Update to new upstream release 2.8.42
+  * Fixed shared pointer to QName string QName output normalization.
+  * Improved `WITH_REPLACE_ILLEGAL_UTF8` flag to optionally compile
+    the library with: this replaces illegal UTF-8 input/output
+    with the replacement character U+FFFD (or define your own
+    `SOAP_UNKNOWN_UNICODE_CHAR`).
