[ANNOUNCE] libXfont 1.4.7

[Alan Coopersmith]

libXfont provides the core of the legacy X11 font system, handling the
index files (fonts.dir, fonts.alias, fonts.scale), the various font file
formats, and rasterizing them.   It is used by the X servers, the
X Font Server (xfs), and some font utilities (bdftopcf for instance),
but should not be used by normal X11 clients.  X11 clients access fonts
via either the new API's in libXft, or the legacy API's in libX11.

This release includes the fix for CVE-2013-6462, as well as other security
hardening and code cleanups, and makes libXfont compatible with libXtrans 1.3
on Solaris.

Alan Coopersmith (7):
      xstrdup -> strdup
      Replace malloc(strlen)+strcpy/strcat calls with strdup
      Don't leak old allocation if realloc fails to enlarge it
      Add AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS to expose non-standard extensions
      CVE-2013-6462: unlimited sscanf overflows stack buffer in bdfReadCharacters()
      Limit additional sscanf strings to fit buffer sizes
