I'm going to upgrade libmicrohttpd in el5, making a slightly larger jump from 0.4.6 to 0.9.6 (but there were not 0.5 to 0.8 releases, 0.9.0 was the next release). The old version is no longer maintained, the new version contains a large number of fixes, and there is only one depending package in el5.

This package is fawkes and I'm the maintainer there as well. To release both updates at the same time, please tag libmicrohttpd-0.9.6-1 into the el5 buildroot so I can rebuild fawkes and push both updates in one go.
