Version 1.12.0.rc1 is a minor maintenance update and moves
the PCRE dependency to the PCRE2 distribution, because PCRE
is no longer maintainer.

This version is available in .tar.xz format from these sites:

o SourceForge -- Source .tar.xz
   https://sourceforge.net/projects/leafnode/
   https://sourceforge.net/projects/leafnode/files/leafnode/1.12.0.rc1/

Below are file checksums and the NEWS file excerpt, with changes since
the previous release.  The full ChangeLog ships with the tarballs.

Have fun,
Matthias Andree, Leafnode maintainer

### CHANGES
- leafnode now requires the PCRE2 library instead of PCRE.
  PCRE2 has been around for a few years and is maintained,
  while PCRE is end of life, no longer supported,
  and is being phased out by distributions.
  See its home page, https://github.com/PhilipHazel/pcre2
  Fixes Debian Bug#1000110 reported by Matthew Vernon via Moritz Mühlenhoff.
- Documentation for running under daemontools/ucspi-tcp (tcpserver)
  has been removed, only UNINSTALL-daemontools remains as documentation.
- leafnode 1 is now distributed in gzip and xz formats.
  bzip2 will no longer be used because xz performs better overall.
- All files have been converted from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 encoding.
- Added leafnode@.service and leafnode.socket as examples for how to launch
  the network-based leafnode listening on port 119.
