[Privoxy-devel] macOS package changes (was: Privoxy 4.1.0 has been tagged)

[Ian Silvester]

Well-spotted Fabian! 

Yes both versions are from me. In working through the build on Sunday I noticed that there was a far more recent pcre2 available than installed on my (now rather aged) build machine, and in my focus on upgrading that entirely forgot to download and build zstd! I realised overnight so corrected that yesterday and made appropriate tweaks to the macOS build script to include it. 

I'm afraid though that I don't have local branches representing the prior 4.1.0 nor 4.0.0 states - the package is fairly quiescent these days so I work on the head I'm afraid.

Ian
