This release contains an important security fix.
It is recommended that all users upgrade.

I'm going to dig into this a bit and see what this fix is, as it might be a workaround for Debian's reverting of CPIO security patches, which has made Debian vulnerable to path traversal vulnerabilities again

This appears to be https://github.com/ib/xarchiver/issues/183, where the fix was to reject versions of CPIO prior to 2.12. We have 2.14, so we're all good to go here. https://github.com/ib/xarchiver/commit/85dcd9058a528181c786da1899b68110301d1aa1
