I just pushed out a point release of Xastir 2.1.6.

Users of the master branch code will see no difference --- it's just that
we need a numbered release available so that pacakge maintainer can get
the benefit of all the changes that have happened since 2.1.4 back in July
of 2019.

If you're a package maintainer for any distro and were stuck at version
2.1.4, you might well want to update to 2.1.6 now --- especially if the
distro you're working on is getting ready to lock down package versions.

Note that some optional features have been removed --- notably, dbfawk
is now required for shapelib support, which means pcre is not optional.
The "--with-dbfawk" and "--with-pcre" options of configure are removed.
If shapefile support is requested then pcre is required, and
automatically enables dbfawk. These are all controlled by the single
"--with-shapelib"
option.

Share and Enjoy.

The master branch now identifies itself as version "2.1.7" (as is our
custom on this project, odd numbers mean "version of the day off master"
and even are tagged releases).
