Newsbeuter 1.1 released: contains security fix, please upgrade

Newsbeuter 1.1 was just released. Grab it from here. It contains a security fix for an issue where opening specially crafted URLs with the browser could lead to shell command execution, so an upgrade is highly recommended.

    I assume this will be included in the Ubuntu repos for automated updates soon enough?

  2. Don McArthur: the Debian package is already updated, so I assume they will soon update this, too.

    Good, thanks, and I will let you know.
