[ANNOUNCE] kmod 12

kmod 12 is out:

Bug fix release only. Copying the NEWS section here for brevity:

       - Fix removing vermagic from module when told to force load a module
       - Fix removing __versions section when told to force load a module: we
         need to mangle the section header, not the section.
       - modinfo no longer fails while loading a module from file when path
         contains ".ko" substring

Interesting that there was no previous bug report of "modprobe -f"
failing, yet before this release it was not working properly. Maybe
people are not tainting their kernel as frequently as I imagined.

Shortlog is below.


Cheers
