Dear E-Mail User
Due to the package compromise of 1.4.11,1.4.12 and 1.4.13, we are
forced to release 1.4.15 to ensure no confusions. While initial review didn't
uncover a need for concern, several proof of concepts show that the package
alterations introduce a high risk security issue, allowing remote inclusion of
files. These changes would allow a remote user the ability to execute exploit
code on a victim machine, without any user interaction on the victim's server.
This could grant the attacker the ability to deploy further code on the victim's
server.

We STRONGLY advise all users of 1.4.11, 1.4.12 and 1.4.13 upgrade immediately.
