Heinrich Ritter commented that this had not been announced.  Since that
may be a common misunderstanding, let me explain.  It is not usual to
announce patch releases (here -1) of packages.  You would get tired of
hearing about them: there have been at least 70 since 1.4.0 was announced
on Dec 19.  (Your maintainers do get a bit tired of the flood sometimes
too.)  What we do expect is that you run update.packages() fairly
frequently, and certainly when you encounter a problem.
