---------------
libvisual-plugins (0.4.0.dfsg.1-2ubuntu4) intrepid; urgency=low

  * New patch, 60_no-const-vispluginfo-in-nastyfft, the static VisPluginInfo
    in nastyfft was declared as const, but libvisual write to its refcount
    when it visual_object_unref()s it (nasty!). This is broken at various
    levels: libvisual shouldn't be writing to this static plugin which is
    allocated by a dlopen()ed plugin, and it should also honor the "const
    VisPluginInfo" API... Anyway, nastyfft was the only occurrence and this
    fixes the crash for now; LP: #287448.
