A release to pretend that Websocat development is going on (while in reality it has mostly petered out). Also to check that release script still works.

Triggered by activity in #55.

Although version number "rolled back" to 1.x series, it is a continuation of the "2.0.0-alpha0" below and contains everything from it. It is possible to connect to a websocket using new "2.0"-ish scheme, but it's a low-level-only command and is not the default method.

In addition to everything specified in "v2.0.0-alhpa0" changelog, there are:

  • Base64 mode for binary WebSocket messages
  • Prefixes for text and binary WebSocket messages, allowing to discriminate incoming binary and text WebSocket messages and intermix outgoing binary and text WebSocket messages.
  • Sort-of-unfinished http-post-sse: specifier allowing to use HTTP server-sent events (in one direction) and POST request bodies (in the other direction) instead of (or in addition to) a WebSocket and to bridge them together. This mode is not tested properly although.

As usual, in case of Websocat fails to start or work for you, try a nossl version, try some previous release or try just building it from source code.
