Due the patch itself - upstream v0.14.4 release NEWS contains: 2012-07-01: Revelation 0.4.14 ============================= New features: - Added a new file encryption format using PBKDF2 #61 [Mikel Olasagasti Uranga] - Warn users about old file encryption format being non-secure - Moved applet to own dir to fix 'make dist' thus maybe adding a warning would be sufficient till there is upstream old-format fix.
yes... pre-release scratch build has the patch..... rolling new scratch build and rawhide build with the new release today. -jef
