Upload this stable bugfix release

2.42.1
======

  * The GTlsClientConnection "use-ssl3" property now falls back to TLS
    1.0 if SSL 3.0 has been disabled, rather than just failing. Also,
    we now use the gnutls %LATEST_RECORD_VERSION option by default (to
    allow connecting to certain servers that were incorrectly patched
    for the POODLE attack), but also make sure to remove that option
    in the fallback ("use-ssl3") mode (to allow connecting to other
    servers that are differently broken). (#738633, #740087, Dan
    Winship)

  * tls/gnutls: Miscellaneous warning, debugging, and leak fixes
    (#736757, #736809, #737106, Philip Withnall)

  * New/updated translations:
 Kazakh

[ QA & regression potential ]

Under the GNOME MRE, assume the bugs are fixed. Installl the update & use your system as normal. If we don't see any regressions either manually or on errors, we're good.

Hello Iain, or anyone else affected,

Accepted glib-networking into utopic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib-networking/2.42.1-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
