Notes

mdeslaur

in Oneiric+, rails package is just for transition

seth-arnold

Only 3.x.x is affected; earlier and 4.0.x are safe The patch standardizes some log handling across multiple packages, but the security fix looks restricted to just one line in action mailer: info("\nSent mail to #{recipients} ... the other packages can be left alone.
