[axel-devel] Axel 2.4 maintenance release

[Y Giridhar Appaji Nag]

Hi,

Axel 2.4 has been released with a bunch of important bug fixes.  The full list
of changes is as follows:

- Fix buffer overflow caused by wrong size limits when copying strings
- Fix thread hangs due to incorrect synchronization
- Removed Fedora packaging file. axel will be available in the Fedora
  repositories soon.
- Use /etc/ instead of /usr/etc/ as the default system-wide configuration
  location
- Respect environment and user set CFLAGS in the configure script
- Allow special characters in arguments to configure.
- Add MimeType and fix Categories in the axel-kapt desktop file.
- Use string instead of a combo in the kaptain grammer for axel-kapt.

The usual "forgot to upgrade version number" bug has also been fixed in the
latest uploaded tarballs.

The files (tar.gz [1] and tar.bz2 [2]) are available for download from
https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=100070
