Expat 2.7.1 released

[Sebastian Pipping <sebastian%pipping.org@localhost>]

Hello everyone!


Expat 2.7.1 has been released a few minutes ago.

The most interesting part to you is likely the fix to the regression
that the fix to CVE-2024-8176 brought as a side effect in 2.7.0.
It can be argued for or against being a regression, I consider
both views valid, personally.

So if you are in the backporting part of the ecosystem,
pull request https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/pull/989
would be a candidate to consider backporting also wherever
you backported a fix to CVE-2024-8176 without forwarding to 2.7.0
last time.

As usual, the change log with more information is at
https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/blob/R_2_7_1/expat/Changes

If you have patches for Expat that are still required with version
2.7.1, please send them my way so we can get them included with a future
release.  Thank you!

Best



Sebastian
