Hi!

Yesterday morning I saw no notice whatsover.
I downloaded 9.2.1 and upgraded to it.
ISC called it a 'bugfix' release.

However - I just looked at the CHANGES file for 9.2.2

There are no security notes in the section for 9.2.2
but in the notes for 9.2.2rc1 these appear:

1356. [security] Support patches OpenSSL libraries.
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-23.html

1349. [security] Minimum OpenSSL version now 0.9.6e (was 0.9.5a).
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-23.html

as well as a zillion other changes.

Now I have to upgrade all over again

Should they note that there are security
bugs in the current release, or is it my responsibility to read
all of the CHNGES files for all the release candidates _before_
I upgrade from one relase to another??????

Did I miss something as well here?
