Verified signatures and hashes and previewed changes from last RC. I did
notice that Hervé's key is pretty old and weak now (1024 DSA/2048 Elgamal),
and that the digest algorithm used for the signature was the
not-recommended SHA-1. I recommend future releases use SHA512 for the
digest algorithm [1], and Hervé think about transitioning to a stronger key
[2] (at the very least, update the existing key to prefer SHA512 when
signing [3]).
