There have been 146 commits to trunk after 1.1.5, attaching a list of
them.

I have personally done only packaging and installation/upgrade testing,
while the functionality testing is provided by the community having iOS
devices in these comments. Matthias helpfully called for additional
testing so I hope we have a good testing coverage.


** CVE added: http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=2013-2142

** Attachment added: "libimobiledevice_gitchanges.txt"
   
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libimobiledevice/+bug/1207812/+attachment/4023266/+files/libimobiledevice_gitchanges.txt

** Description changed:

+ The latest libimobiledevice release 1.1.5 is a year old and does not
+ support iOS7 devices. Most iOS devices have been updated to iOS7 by now,
+ so currently the library is broken in functionality for most users. The
+ git snapshot has been tested to work, but there seems to be no new
+ upstream release being prepared for the time being.
+ 
+ The new git snapshot includes several fixes, including the security fix
+ that was previously patched on top of 1.1.5 in Ubuntu.
+ 
+ Packaging branch merge request attached to this bug report.
+ 
+ --- Original report ---
+ 
  The iPhone reporting "Trust the currently connected computer?" Trust/Don't 
Trust.
  This then happens in a continous loop when clicking Trust.
