Expat 2.4.6 with regression fix released



Hi everyone!


One of the security fixes in 2.4.5 introduced a regression that the test
suite of Perl's XML::Parser uncovered.  Hence there is a fix now, and a
new regression test, and a new release.

A quick way to see if your system Expat is regressing or healthy is
this:

  # cd "$(mktemp -d)"
  # git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/toddr/XML-Parser
  # cd XML-Parser/
  # perl t/decl.t
  1..40
  ok 1
  ok 2
  [..]
  ok 39
  ok 40

There will be a summary blog post at [1] and the change log is at [2] with more details already.

Best



Sebastian
