Hi

> As a result of a recently reported security vulnerability in the server,
> this release contains little updates. In particular it's only the
> following changes:
> 
> Bugfixes:
> 
>  * Fix the above-mentioned security vulnerability (Memory reads,
>    Segmentation Fault) in all 0.6.x servers.
>

> 
>  * Fix master server lookup for servers.

> the only fix is an editor crash.

I'm not sure if (and how many) CVEs might be assigned. The server
crash was fixed with commit in [2].
