libass/libass 0.17.1

Release 0.17.1

on GitHub

This is an important, bug-fix-only release.

Users of 0.17.0 are advised to upgrade to 0.17.1 soon. Nothing has changed besides fixing crash and build-stopper bugs, so there are no side effects.

Users of 0.16.0 are also affected by the buffer overread bug and are advised to upgrade or at least to backport the relevant fix themselves.

• Fix buffer overread if soft-wrapping occurred and ASS_FEATURE_WHOLE_TEXT_LAYOUT was enabled via API or due to Encoding -1 (bug introduced in 0.16.0)
• x86: detect GNU Hurd and configure NASM appropriately
