[OpenWrt-Devel] Why was libwebswocekts bumped in the for-15.05 branch?

[Luka Perkov]

Hi Karl,

thanks for pointing this out. I'm sorry but this commit ended up in the
wrong git repo :(

It is now reverted:

https://github.com/openwrt/packages/commit/b3139cf56c2f3ff80dc29239cccf9c7b6bcb5f9d

Thanks again,
Luka
