Subject: [fmII] The Library of Assorted Spiffy Things 0.7 released (Default branch)

This email is to inform you about the release of version '0.7' of 'The
Library of Assorted Spiffy Things' through freshmeat.net. All URLs and
other useful information can be found at

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/libast/

The changes in this release are as follows:
The string class is now both an interface and an implementation, so
parallel implementations (e.g., a glib string wrapper) can be
created. Detection of Imlib2 support and a pixmap leak when it was
disabled have been fixed. Fixes have been made for gcc4/newer
autotools. This release also contains a fix for CVE-2006-0224, a
buffer overflow which could lead to privilege escalation in
setuid/setgid apps using LibAST's configuration engine.

Release focus:
9 - Major security fixes

Project description:
The Library of Assorted Spiffy Things  (LibAST - formerly libmej) was
originally  designed as a companion library to Eterm.  However, it
contains many features that other  projects may find useful, so it
has been  broken out into its own library. Features  include thorough
debugging and memory  tracking engines, various string manipulation
functions, and a flexible config file parsing  engine.
