Version: 0.5.24-0.1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
dhelp_parse can segfault on long lines in some cases. In sid, the
current w3-recs package causes such a segfault in its postinst. The
bug and its fix are trivial; a patch appears below.
As an aside, some of the fields in the database records are much too
small. If they were big enough this wouldn't have happened.

Changes:
dhelp (0.5.25) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Maintainer change.
* Rewrite dhelp_parse in Ruby. This fixes some bugs and avoids many problems
(Closes: #21678, #268487, #62454, #312950, #442943, #444429, #193428).
* This release should be a drop-in replacement for the C version, and still
uses the same database and internal format.
* It also adds a Ruby library, to allow other developers to write other
programs that read and/or update the dhelp databases.
* Use "http://localhost" for CGI script URLs (Closes: #114588).
* Removed misleading dot from example (Closes: #381804).
* Uses sensible-browser instead of having its own configuration system
(Closes: #146002, #162518, #381805, #217162, #430590).
* Clean up the HTML a bit (Closes: #438973, #134567, #115306).
* Remove references to obsolete script dh_dhelp (Closes: #369459).
* Raise title limit from 49 to 100 characters (Closes: #102393).
* Depend on doc-base, to make sure packages have their documentation
available for dhelp (Closes: #314733, #368035).
* Wait a couple of seconds before exiting, after a fatal error, to make sure
the user can read the error message (Closes: #35097).
* Make documentation index files world-readable, regardless of current umask
(Closes: #158792, #430474, #430505).
* Remove obsolete script dhelp2dwww.pl, and references to it
(Closes: #364245).
* Remove "dangerous" environment variables from dsearch, to avoid taint
problems (Closes: #389944).
* Strip blanks from .dhelp field values (Closes: #133218).
