Thank you for looking out for it! The new package was uploaded yesterday a
few minutes after the official release. I'd like to ask everyone on this
list to please upload security fixes asap. Perhaps we should have a policy
that after a security fix release announcement someone claims it on this
mailing list? This way we know it is getting done and avoid duplicating
effort.
