Well, the core upgrade IS the bug correction. Also, the core is at first a
windows program, adapted for linux, on top of which runs the GTK GUI.
In other words, to the windows code is also modified for linux, so that makes
a very hard sum of changes to parse for isolating the security fix.
Anyway, I will have a look at that, but I'm not sure I'll have a lot of time
for it.
