+- Update to new upstream release 2.8.62
+  * Added wsdl2h options `-O3` and `-O4` to aggressively optimize
+    WSDLs internally by "schema slicing": `-O3` applies `-O2` and
+    also removes unused root attributes, `-O4` applies `-O3` and
+    also removes unused root elements. It only makes sense to use
+    `-O4` with one or more WSDLs (and XSDs that are imported by
+    the WSDL), because all schema components will be removed from
+    XSDs that are not used by WSDLs.
+  * Updated HTTP digest plugin.
+  * Improved soapcpp2 options `-g` and `-y`, may be used together
+    to generate sample XML messages.
