The mirrors should have it shortly.

     This release corrects the bug just mentioned on the mailing list
which causes channel mode locks to be lost when XML data is imported.
I apologize sincerely for letting something like this slip through, and
I hope it hasn't affected too many people.  (The other two bugs in the
change log are minor ones that shouldn't come up under normal usage.
one results from a certain combination of debugging configuration flags;
the other arose while the XML bug was being fixed, and shouldn't occur
under actual use.)
