-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [xml] Release of libvirt-2.9.3 Datum: Fri, 20 Nov 2015 18:17:56 +0800 Von: Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com> An: xml@gnome.org This is a security release, I didn't tried to push a number of other patches considering urgency. That release is dedicated to the memory of Bill Brack who was my co-maintainer for many years on libxml2 and libxslt, we became friends, he has a huge influence still on way I do things. Unfortunately he passed away last February. I'm sure he would have commented that celebrating his legacy with a release with so many CVE would be a tribute to his programming skills, because he always approached life with a sense of humor. RIP Bill, the code still lives but OpenSource is more about people than code ! So yes that release is packed with Security and ugly bugs fixes, more than overall improvements, I have put signed tarballs and rpms to the usual place at ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/ Update is strongly suggested !
