New release?

Hi guys,

Thank you for making a great tool.  I have been using it in conjunction 
with the NetworkManager plugin to connect to a Palo Alto Global Protect 
VPN for the last couple of years, and it worked great.  For the last few 
months I have been using it with a YubiKey.  Recently, it suddenly stopped 
working (512 server error after successful authentication), however, and 
through trying different gl-saml-gui version, I am pretty sure that the 
problem is that the SAML and cookie from the server response are now only 
in the comment inside the HTML page, and no longer in its header.

If I read the commit messages correctly, that seems to have been fixed 18 
months ago (in commit 8c5d65889b), but there has been no new version tag 
since 9.12 a few months earlier.  Since Linux distros and packaging 
services (e.g. openSUSE build service) go by the tags (since they signal a 
stable version), there is no newer package than 9.12 available, and that 
does not have the fix for the SAML-in-comment problem.

While I could probably compile the newest version from GitLab, it is 
obviously easier to use a package, and I am not the only one with this 
problem.  I would therefore really appreciate it, if you could release 
9.13 in the not-to-distant future.  I'm getting by with gp-saml-gui, but 
it is not as well integrated with NetworkManager and I don't have the 
options that come with that, like routing only certain addresses through 
the VPN, so I'm looking forward to the next version of opemconnect.

Thank you very much!

Thomas
