Hi ports@,

Today I released net/swirc 3.5.6  --  with the following changes:

## [3.5.6] - 2025-10-11 ##
- **Added** command `/nsid` (NickServ identify).
- **Added** command `/utctime`.
- **Added** command-line option `-h`. (Sets the bind host)
- **Added** small tab completion improvements.
- During file creation, took care to give it the most restrictive
   permissions possible. Multiple occurrences.
- **Fixed** segmentation fault on OpenBSD 7.8 and greater due to a type
   change of the global variable `malloc_options` which is now an
   immutable char pointer. Better to not set it at all, not even at
   file scope. It had been good if the declaration of `malloc_options`
   had been provided within a system header, the segmentation fault had
   instead resulted in a compilation error.
- **Improved** the thread safety. Fixed potential data races found by TSan.

### Windows ###
- **Upgraded** to [LibreSSL](https://www.libressl.org/) 4.1.1

I attach a diff.

Best regards
Markus
