** Improved Transport Layer Security (TLS) support in (web client)
`http-request', `http-get', and related procedures from (web client) are
able to access content over TLS ("HTTPS") since Guile 2.2. However,
that support lacked important facilities, which are now available.
First, these procedures now have a #:verify-certificates? parameter to
enable or disable the verification of X.509 server certificates. The
new `x509-certificate-directory' SRFI-39 parameter specifies X.509
certificates are searched for. Second, HTTPS proxies are now supported
(in addition to HTTP proxies) and the new `current-https-proxy'
parameter controls that. See "Web Client" in the manual for details.
* New deprecations
** scm_t_uint8, etc deprecated in favor of C99 stdint.h
