with TCP, UDP and SMTP (support for the latter was later dropped due
to a lack of maintenance). In 2005, the project first started to
evolve beyond the original file-sharing application with a first
-simple P2P chat. In 2007, we created GNU libmicrohttpd to support a
-pluggable transport based on HTTP. In 2009, the architecture was
-radically modularized into the multi-process system that exists today.
-Coincidentally, the first version of the ARM service was implemented a
-day before systemd was announced. From 2009 to 2014 work progressed
-rapidly thanks to a significant research grant from the Deutsche
