(CVE-2006-0224 was already fixed by patch-aa in pkgsrc).
XXX: self test failed on NetBSD-5.0.1, but old version also failed.
Changes: The string class is now both an interface and an implementation, so
parallel implementations (e.g., a glib string wrapper) can be created. Detection
of Imlib2 support and a pixmap leak when it was disabled have been fixed. Fixes
have been made for gcc4/newer autotools. This release also contains a fix for
CVE-2006-0224, a buffer overflow which could lead to privilege escalation in set
uid/setgid apps using LibAST's configuration engine.
DESCR:
The Library of Assorted Spiffy Things (LibAST - formerly libmej) was
originally designed as a companion library to Eterm. However, it
contains many features that other projects may find useful, so it
has been broken out into its own library. Features include thorough
debugging and memory tracking engines, various string manipulation
functions, and a flexible config file parsing engine.
