Hi,

This is not a PPA hosted by launchpad/canonical but we provide a
repository on our website to get the last (stable) version of our
software.

TL;DR:  There is no security fix as PlayOnLinux is a fronted for Wine
(written mainly in python/bash), but old version (< 4.2) may not be able
to work any more when user try to install software.

PlayOnLinux uses scripts for installing (Windows) software which are fetched on 
the website (this allow us to add, update installer following changes of editor 
- like GOG.com).
So we have added and/or fixed some functions into the software for making life 
of scripter (guys who wrote script) easier, so script published before POL 4.1 
(and never updated since) still works, newer script will probably failed.

Updating POL on any stable release, will not affect anything else than
POL, itself.

Regards,
Aymeric.
