Expat 2.2.1 with security fixes has been released

Expat 2.2.1 has been released. It's a security release with a variety of security fixes, for instance: An infinite loop denial-of-service fix (that Rhodri James wrote more about), introduction of SipHash against sophisticated hash flooding, use of OS-specific high quality entropy providers like getrandom, integer overflow fixes, and more. We also got better code coverage, moved all but the downloads from SourceForge to GitHub, … but maybe have a look at the detailed change log yourself :) So if you control copies of Expat somewhere, please get them updated. Let me use the occasion to point out that we are looking for help with a few things Expat. There are tickets with details up here. If you can help, please get in touch. Thanks and best
