Here comes a new Savane release. This release brings no new features but only
bugfixes. Most notably, it fixes a cross site scripting bug (XSS -- which
means a low security fix) that was introduced in 1.3 release. If you are
running Savane 1.3, we urge you to upgrade soon, even if the effects of such
flaw are not critical. Previous releases are unaffected.

Thanks a lot to anyone involved in this release, most notably Tobias Toedter
for fixing bugs and  Karol Nowak for reporting the XSS issue.

The release tracking has been made with the task  #2686.

If you are still running a Savane version older than 1.3, note that we moved
to SVN. See https://gna.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=982 for more details.
