Description Hans de Goede 2008-10-21 07:44:18 UTC
As the previous maintainer of imlib2 I'm subscribed to imlib2 releases (through the subscribe to new release feature of sourceforge).

As such I was attented to a new imlib2 release done today: 1.4.2:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2&release_id=634778

I will unsubscribe from those releases now, I can advise you to subscribe :)

Thank you. I've already subscribed. I will probably wait for the new devel (F-11) branch because I think too late to rebase imlib2 in F-10.

Nope, better update now and also put updates in updates-testing for F-9 and F-8, quoting the (very verbose) release notes:
"Notes: Various bugfixes and security updates"

Note the *security updates*, also this is a minor release, so chances for regressions should be low.

Comment 3 Tomas Smetana 2008-10-21 08:17:16 UTC
OK. Will do. Thanks again.
