Re: [Lcms-user] Announcement about patches

[Bob F. <bfr...@si...>]

Marti,

I extracted lcms-1.18a.tar.gz and notice that there are no 
documentation updates and that the package extracts as lcms-1.18 
rather than lcms-1.18a. The only way to tell that there has been an 
update is that src/cmsxform.c is more recent than the NEWS file.  The 
shared library builds with the same versioning information.

This approach causes problems for users since it is difficult to tell 
if their installed 1.18 has the security patch or not.

Bob
