[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1112133: biosig 3.9.2 released

[Alois Schlögl]

biosig v3.9.2 is available.

It comes improved support of several dataformats, and addresses a number 
of known and potential vulnerabilities.
Find below a detailed list of improvements. Its definitively worth 
upgrading.

The ABI has not changed, so in case of dynamic linking, you can just 
replace libbiosig.so
and your are all set. In case of static linking, you need to recompile 
your application.

As usual, downloads are available from here:
https://biosig.sourceforge.net/download.html


= Changes in v3.9.2

* Improved support of data formats:

- ABF1 && ABF2: several improvements:
         some scaling issues were addressed
         support for nOperationsMode=5 (Episodic Stimulation Mode) added

- FEF support improved;
         Files from CNSystem's Taskmonitor can now be opened.

- XML-based formats:
         disable use of internal copy of tinyxml, support for XML-based 
formats
         will depend on the host providing tinyxml at build-time
         This avoids compilation errors on some platforms (Mac Ports?).

* Security-related improvement:
- MFER:
         add guard against unintended and potentially unsafe use of MFER
         In order to read MFER data, you need to set the environment 
variable
                 set BIOSIG_MFER_TRUST_INPUT=1


* Debian bug #1112133 is now fixed. This addresses all
CVE-2025-54494 CVE-2025-54493 CVE-2025-54492 CVE-2025-54491

Unlike the announcement in release v3.9.1, some MFER-related issues 
where not fixed then, these are fixed now. These changes address also 
the vulnerability report TALOS-2025-2296 and a view similar issues.


* Platform support:
- New: Python 3.14



Enjoy. Merry Christmas and best Seasons greetings,
