Build 0.2.8.3.6_rc_z1574 available

Feb 1, 2021

Built from release_0.2.8.3

This is a Release Candidate for ironing out the last breaking changes before an actual release.

Release Notes

This is from the 0.2.8.3 branch of development. It is the most recent LTS (Long Term Support) branch. While it is the most recent LTS branch, it will receive security fixes, adaptions to new compilers and Linux versions and some less important bugfixes.

Target audience for this series are mostly Linux distributors who do not want to upgrade to 0.2.9 just yet. If you are in that camp and need help integrating the changes into your build, contact us.

0.2.8.3.6 is the first release using the build system that powers the 0.2.9 series. It should bring more consistency between this and future releases, but as newer versions of autotools are now used, differences to 0.2.8.3.5 in the tarball are to be expected.

Security related: One fix for a remotely exploitable use after free was backported from 0.2.9 (#34) and one client crash exploitable by making you play back a specially prepared recording (#54) was fixed.

0.2.8.3.6.1 fixes silly build system mistakes and adds ppa support for Ubuntu 21.04.

Patch Notes

Versioning script incorrectly takes current tag into account (#72)

Other Changes

Improve deployment cancellation (#80)
