The new releases cover many bugfixes (including some for segfaults) and many nice improvements, see below. Sebastian, in light of this, do you have any plans for updating the package? Personally I'd very much like to have the new version available in Debian (as opposed to just locally as mentioned above), and I wouldn't mind doing the work myself. If you agree, of course. However, I can also offer further assistance by taking a (co-)maintainer role. Just let me know what you'd prefer.
