Hello,

I'm asking for the unblock of ruby-airbrussh
because a critical bug was solved in the last upload.

The bug is related to the package throwing an exception when dealing with
non UTF-8 characters coming from SSH.

I decided to upload the latest release instead of patching the previous
release because the only functionality change of the latest release is this
one, all the other changes can't possibly affect the package, and in this
case it's simpler to have the latest release then to patch it and possibly
induce the users to think that this problem is not fixed:

* Files changed that fix this problem:
  - lib/airbrussh/console.rb

* Other files changed, not needed to fix the problem, can't break anything
and makes the package better:
  - test/airbrussh/console_test.rb (it's a new test case for this problem)

* Other files changed, not needed to fix the problem, can't break anything
and does not make any difference on the package:
  - appveyor.yml
  - CHANGELOG.md
  - lib/airbrussh/version.rb
  - LICENSE.txt
  - .travis.yml
As you can see, all of the files in this case are metadata files.

I didn't open a RC bug on BTS because I'm assuming it's not necessary as we
already have the upstream one and the fix is already on Unstable.

This is the bug that was fixed in this new release:
https://github.com/mattbrictson/airbrussh/issues/120
PR + some discussion:
https://github.com/mattbrictson/airbrussh/pull/121

Special attention to the fact that the bug was noticed while using
capistrano, which depends on this package and was the only reason I
packaged it.

Thanks,
