Hi,

This update contains an large number of fixes but none of them are critical.
Most of the fixes are in the HTML5 client, SSL socket support and
various other subsystems: clipboard, audio, shadow servers, etc.

The only noteworthy change is for the packaging of the media codecs:
those are now loading the correct version of the library when multiple
versions are installed - this should prevent some warnings and maybe
even fix some performance and stability issues as well.

There is no urgency to update if your were not affected by those issues.


Release notes:
* fix SSL connection failures
* fix SSL servers on MS Windows
* fix SSL-upgradable sockets not exposed via mDNS
* fix server startup failures when running without stdout or stderr

  on MS Windows
