This release has several bugfixes, especially for BSD systems. The man pages
have been
translated to French. Please note that a buffer overflow was been found in
the program
convert-fcrontab, which is part of fcron 3.0.0. It seems that this bug is not
exploitable,
but it is safer to upgrade to 3.0.1 (which includes a fix for this bug) as
soon as possible.


-----
All fcron users should(delay for grimoire tarball generation):
# scribe update
# cast -c fcron

or

# scribe update
# sorcery queue-security
# cast --queue
