Just curious, why?
Despite the slight version difference, the changelog does show quite
a few fixes and improvements. Not bad for a package no longer
officially in development anymore.
While I join you in commending the maintainers for persisting longer
than upstream, the only change I see that is not purely cosmetic in
essence is the fix to #340019 (correcting the protocol for streaming
over HTTP).
Even more puzzling than why one would consider the risk of compromising
a supposed production system for one minor update to the same CVS
snapshot is *why* one would even run a program for entertainment on a
production system in the first place. That's what I am curious about.
