This update includes the latest release of neon, version 0.28.6.
This fixes two security issues:

  * the billion laughs attack against expat could allow
  a Denial of Service attack by a malicious server. (CVE-2009-2473)

  * an embedded NUL byte in a certificate subject name could allow an
  undetected MITM attack against an SSL server if a trusted CA
  issues such a cert.

ChangeLog:

  * Wed Aug 19 2009 Joe Orton  0.28.6-1

  - update to 0.26.1

  * Thu Jul  9 2009 Joe Orton  0.28.5-1

  - update to 0.28.5 (#502451, #491839)");
