+- Update to new upstream release 2.8.54
+  * Added wsdl2h option `-S` to specify a name for the soap
+    context member variable of generated classes (C++ only), use
+    `-S ''` to remove the `soap` member variable.
+  * Improved handling of empty SOAP Body responses by client
+    applications using doc/lit style messaging, returns `SOAP_OK`
+    instead of HTTP 200 error code.
