[Rpm-announce] POPT 1.19 rc1 released!

[Panu Matilainen]

Some of you may have begun to think popt usptream got rebooted and then 
forgotten, and I couldn't say you were entirely wrong. Then again we 
didn't really have any plans other than give popt a place where people 
can report bugs and submit patches. And that you did!

Almost all of the improvements in popt 1.19 are from the community, and 
we thank you for that:

One thing worth pointing out though: unfortunately popt 1.18 introduced 
a memory leak regression related to poptStuffArgs(). Even more 
unfortunately some projects have apparently taken matters into their own 
hands by freeing the const pointer by themselves. Don't. Just don't. The 
regression is fixed in 1.19 but those working around it locally may well 
run into self-inflicted problems.
