Request: Tag a new version

[xiota]

It's been three years since the 1.3.17 release, and there have been some incompatible changes, like ENET_SOCKOPT_TTL. Projects that require new features need enet to be built from git checkout, but as far as I can tell, such builds still identify as 1.3.17. So build scripts cannot easily check that the new features are available.

I noticed this being used as a dependency for Dolphin. I'd prefer to use the system copy of our enet port, but the code is a bit old at .17.

Looks like there are other more active forks. Maybe dolphin devs should make their own fork and try to pull the separate development efforts together.

I'm the Debian packager of Dolphin and I'm currently unable to build the newest beta version against the system enet, as Dolphin has picked up unreleased features in libenet.

It is also used by a decent number of other projects so it would be good to have the various bug fixes and improvements rolled out.

I'll try to make a new release this weekend.

[jmallach]

Yay, thanks a lot, @lsalzman!

[lsalzman]

Done, 1.3.18.

[jmallach]

Again, thanks! I have opened a request in Debian so the enet maintainer updates to 1.3.18 soon.
