Hello everyone!


Expat 2.4.0 (and 2.4.1) most importantly brings protection against
Billion Laughs Attacks (CVE-2013-0340).  There is a blog post [1] and
the change log with more details.

If you have patches for Expat that are still required with version
2.4.1, please send them my way.  Thank you!

Best



Sebastian
