I'd like to put out a ViewVC 1.1.3 release in the next couple of weeks.
I've made quite a few changes since the 1.1.2 release, including some
regression bug fixes and a pair of security-related fixes/improvements.

Here's the current snapshot of stuff in the CHANGES file:

* security fix: add root listing support of per-root authz config
* security fix: query.py requires 'forbidden' authorizer (or none) in config
* fix URL-ification of truncated log messages (issue #3)
* fix regexp input validation (issue #426, #427, #440)
* add support for configurable tab-to-spaces conversion
* fix not-a-sequence error in diff view
* allow viewvc-install to work when templates-contrib is absent
* minor template improvements/corrections
* expose revision metadata in diff view (issue #431)
* markup file/directory item property URLs and email addresses (issue #434)
* make ViewVC cross copies in Subversion history by default
* fix bug that caused standalone.py failure under Python 1.5.2 (issue #442)
* fix support for per-vhost overrides of authorizer parameters (issue #411)
* fix root name identification in query.py interface

Unfortunately -- and it's a bummer to have to admit it -- I've made some
sloppy coding mistakes lately, and the lack of an automated test suite and
fellow developers has me a little gunshy.  So I would really, really
appreciate it if some of you would grab the latest code from the 1.1.x
branch or download the latest nightly 1.1.3-dev tarball from
http://viewvc.org/nightly/ and give it a good sanity check.  (If you have
the time and inclination to also specifically test some of the stuff that
1.1.3 claims to fix, that'd be super-useful, too!)

Thanks.
