Websocat v1's dependencies are getting increasingly obsolete; Websocat v1 may be nearing EOL. There will probably be future releases from v1 branch, but users of Websocat should start thinking about switching to future's Websocat4. First step is to go through #276 and submit reactions to the features you use in Websocat1. You are also welcome to try the v4.0.0-alpha1 release and report if something is wrong (besides missing features).

Changelog:

• Attempt to priorize ping requests and replies over normal traffic
• More options to supply password for basic auth: --basic-auth-file and WEBSOCAT_BASIC_AUTH
• drop_on_backpressure: overlay to ignore content when writing is too slow
• --ua shortcut for -H User-Agent:
• SOCKS5 authentication

Prebuilt Linux, FreeBSD and Android executables should contain OpenSSL version 3.4.0.

Update: Added websocat.arm-unknown-linux-musleabi per user request.
