Hi!
Yesterday morning I saw no notice whatsover.
I downloaded 9.2.1 and upgraded to it.
ISC called it a 'bugfix' release.
However - I just looked at the CHANGES file for 9.2.2
There are no security notes in the section for 9.2.2
but in the notes for 9.2.2rc1 these appear:
1356. [security] Support patches OpenSSL libraries.
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-23.html
1349. [security] Minimum OpenSSL version now 0.9.6e (was 0.9.5a).
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-23.html
as well as a zillion other changes.
Now I have to upgrade all over again :(
Should they note that there are security
bugs in the current release, or is it my responsibility to read
all of the CHNGES files for all the release candidates _before_
I upgrade from one relase to another??????
Did I miss something as well here?
