Hi all,

Thanks for your comment. Those 2 updates was already canceled
yesterday as I've realized the problem after Sandro's bug report.

TL;DR: Updates revoked, rawhide+f21 reverted to 0.12 without bump,
deciding if we need to add epoch to revert back to 0.11.

It's tricky now.

1. Upstream changelog:

  * Make the json_tokener_errors array local.  It has been deprecated for
     a while, and json_tokener_error_desc() should be used instead.

Relative commit: [2]

Porting the code is needed for other upstreams. For the soname bump
I've opened a PR on github but since upstream are inactive since May
so I don't expect they will reply to/dicuss it.

2. As requested by some people[3], 0.12 is not compatible with some
existing packages in the repo, thus I think it's time postpone the
update.

As there are a few hours before today's rawhide compose, I'm going to
revert back the
soname bump in -4 build, now they're done[3][4].

Thanks.
