GNU Alive 2.0.4 available

release notes:

  Maintenance release.  Happy new year.

README excerpt:

  GNU Alive is a keep-alive program for internet connections.
  It repeatedly pings a series of user-specified hosts, thereby
  encouraging (one hopes) the involved networks to not disappear.

NEWS for 2.0.4 (2022-01-01):

  - .tar.xz no longer distributed

    If you have GNU tar, you can use "tar xf" and it will DTRT.
    If not, you can use "lzip -dc TARBALL | tar xf -" to unpack.

  - https in URLs

    GNU and GNUVOLA URLs now say ‘https’ instead of ‘http’.  This
    shows up in the docs, and in ‘--help’ / ‘--version’ output.
