Zc and zc-portable final releases

From now on, the projects will be unmantained, at least by me.

Projects come and go, life change and with it also my work and career. I was looking for a while what to do with zc and zc-portable and it's high time to consider the projects "done". Does this mean that the repositories will disappear? Of course not, the fossil repos will remain available and you will be able to clone them and download the current versions from it.

However, don't expect new features or releases in the future, at least from me.

When zc was started I was working as a zabbix consultant and features in zc were added every time I felt the need for something more. As usual, I was solving a problem I had and zc reflected that. Then, I changed job, we were using zabbix at the next working place, so zc saw a bit of love, albeit not as before, but it made sense to continue working on it, given I was using it daily anyway.

Now, don't work with Zabbix anymore, at all.

This means that I, kind of, don't need zc. Of course we will never know where life will put me. Maybe in a future I will be in a position to work again on something zabbix related and zc development will restart. But it's not going to happen that soon.

That's why I'm pulling the plug.

If you are one of the two or three zc users out there, feel free to contact me if you would like to take care of the project and moving it forward, I'll be happy to give you the kingdom's keys. Every project, must be done at some point. This is how I will continue to approach open source.

Anyway, closing the project, zc and zc-portable 1.9.2 are being released, with two minor things I added a long time ago. Following the changelog, you can find also the download links:
