Hi ports@,

New year, new Swirc release. Today I released net/swirc 3.5.7  -- with 
the following changes:

## [3.5.7] - 2026-01-01 ##
- **Added** micro optimizations. Multiple occurrences.
- **Added** option `save_backlogs_to_disk` (string). Can be `no`, `both`,
   `channels` or `private`. Defaults to `both`.
- **Added** usage of `__restrict`.
- **Changed** the program to during the make phase perform basic checks on
   functions which accept buffers and sizes.
- **Changed** the program to, additionally, display the Curses and TLS
   library versions when called by the `-v` flag.
- For classes that declares a destructor, also declare a:
   1. copy assignment operator
   2. copy constructor
   3. move assignment operator
   4. move constructor
- **Improved** the C++ exception handling.
- **Replaced** `memcmp()` with `timingsafe_memcmp()` - one occurrence.
- **Replaced** preprocessor defines with regular variables.
- **Switched** memory allocation/deallocation method to new/delete for C++
   files. A few occurrences only.

### Windows ###
- **Upgraded** to [Curl](https://curl.se/) 8.17.0
- **Upgraded** to [LibreSSL](https://www.libressl.org/) 4.2.1

I attach a diff.

Best regards
