We just did a new release of Snuffleupagus, the 0.4.1, named Loxodonta, after the genus to which African Elephants belong to.

As announced in the blopost, the previous release was my last one: since I'm no longer working for NBS System, I don't have access to the signing key any more. So kudos to kkadosh for doing this release entirely on his own!

The 20^th of September, cypherbits opened an issue about a NULL-deref. This kind of things shouldn't happen in Snuffleupagus. So I decided to invest some time to bump the coverage, especially in corner-cases area: it went from 94% to a bit more than 99% between this release and the previous one, uncovering some bugs that are now fixed.

A big thank to Rémi Collet for providing patches, investigating issues, and taking care of Snuffleupagus in Fedora!

Also, thanks to Franco Fichtner, Snuffleupagus is available in FreeBSD ports!
