[UVFe] Liferea 1.4.3b fixed two critical bugs, and is a bug-fix-only release.

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]

Binary package hint: liferea

This is just a bug fix release, which fixes a lot of issues, including a crash when following links (Bug #141250) and two critical bugs, which are:

        * Fixes a data loss problem that causes flagged
          items to be dropped out of cache. Normally
          flagged items are never to be dropped.
          (reported by Keith Curtis)

and

        * Fixes a grave bug that caused continuous feed
          downloads when the default update interval is
          set to 0, which is to mean disabled.

I've been running it for an entire day, and it's pretty stable.

Thanks,
Emilio

Approved.

[Sebastian Dröge (slomo)]

Just for the record, this is already uploaded and only waits for approval.

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Please note that what was requested, and approved, was a UVFe for the bugs that were fixed upstream, whereas what was uploaded included a new merge from Debian that brought in unrelated changes - including a switch from lua 5.0 to lua 5.1 which is not appropriate during this stage of the release cycle. It will also make liferea fail to build, because lua 5.1 is not part of gutsy/main.
