[Please keep Raúl, Mark and myself CCed on all replies] Dear Stable Release Managers, I'm a co-maintainer of KVIrc and upstream has just released a bugfix release for their stable branch (4.0). Debian Stable has 4.0.2 but 4.0.4 fixes some serious problems: CRASH r4795 fix for a crash when opening "join channels" widget CRASH #878 Crash by fuzzing CRASH #879 Another crash through fuzzing REGR #1010 Channellist Background problem with Gnome CRASH r5289 fix for a crash in /exec (related to #0164) REGR #1068 Perl was updated to 5.12.2 +latest Kvirc (SVN) CRASH #1093 crash on /list CRASH r5476 fix for a crash in regchan.showlist() CRASH #1098 Crash while pasting new topic over old topic in topic bar REGR r5576 backported relevant patches to fix addon installation and several translation updates. No other changes (except a few updated meta files, like the splash screen, some Windows/Mac-OS-X-only stuff which isn't affecting us but I didn't feel would warrant a repacking and some formatting changes) where made, as the debdiff at [0] shows (I've sent this e-mail earlier already with the debdiff attached, but that hit the size limit of the limit, as the debdiff is rather large due to the translation updates). Would it be ok, to upload KVIrc 4.0.4 to stable-proposed-updates? Thank you in advance for your reply, kind regards, Kai Wasserbäch P.S.: Raúl bid me to point you to [1], where I wrote about these changes and most of the bugs listed above are linked to. P.P.S.: Raúl and I have been testing 4.0.4 for some time now (since RC1) and didn't find any regression so far.
