Where do you see this? http://sourceforge.net/projects/netpbm/files/ ?
10.35.78 seems to be the newest
This is called the `super-stable' release, older than three years (with small fixes, of course). On netpbm.sf.net there are, via SVN, two other series available, namely `stable' and `advanced'. Perhaps it makes sense to switch to `stable'?
I wanted to update even to newer netpbm than stable, but I don't want to port our patches. I have upstreamed some patches, some of them to stable, some of them to advanced. But upstream didn't accept patches like security.patch, security2.patch and similar. That's why I decided to stay on super-stable. If you want work on this, welcome. Documentation needs to be fixed, please file a bugreport or remind me manually later. Thanks, Petr
