 Release 0.9.2.1 fixes critical security issue

 A critical security flaw (CVE-2006-6332) has been discovered which can be
 exploited from remote and allows arbitrary code injection. The fix has been
 committed to trunk in r1842. In addition, we released v0.9.2.1 (v0.9.2 plus
 the fix for the issue), which is available for download from sf.net.

 All users should upgrade as soon as possible.
