Hi Karl, branching is not a pain for this kind of purpose. Just branch off the repository state of 1.5.1 (I guess there is a tag available), apply the one-liner, and release a 1.5.1.1. A bugfix release. That should have been the answer to the problems at hand, not a patch. mg Am 14.09.10 11:58,

Understood going forward. There were a few factors which made this a slightly non-standard situation. First, this wasn't exactly a bug fix. It was a workaround for a bug in a version of libcurl. I was hoping libcurl would be patched. And no, I personally didn't report the issue to the

I know for sure that Fedora (a few F11+ i think) Debian (squeeze+) and Ubuntu (well Karmic+ if you consider PPA or Lucid+ from main archive) are all patched. This is way to small for a bugfix release (I'd rather see more personally). This issue was not present a the time sword 1.6.1 was released,

Thanks for the email link Greg. Yeah, the submitted changes in question from project A were filter updates, and we do specifically state in that email that filter updates are allowed in a stable branch. It was kindof an odd situation. The updates merely added css classes to a few of the

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello! Please release a bugfix version of Sword ASAP! The current version 1.6.1 crashes with all recent versions of curl, while curl versions older than 7.20.0 are being removed from distributions. So this is very urgent. For the bug, see:

We plan to release soon, but didn't know there was an urgent need. There are things unreleasable in head right now which need to be removed if we release 1.6.2 sooner rather than later. I was under the impression all distros already had our patch in their distribution. What distros release
