Bug#929350: RFS: libt3highlight/0.4.8-1

[Gertjan Halkes <debian@ghalkes.nl>]

Hi Adam,

Thanks for pointing out the feature freeze, and sorry for forgetting about
it :-( I think I will go for option 3, as the bad-free bug can cause program
crashes. Once the feature freeze is over, I'll revist the release of 0.4.8.
Do we keep this bug open, or shall I simply file a new bug once the time has
come?

Thanks,
Gertjan
