+After much excessive sitting on patches, the BarnOwl developers are
+pleased to announce that they have hatched into BarnOwl version
+1.8.1. Although the egg is slightly squashed from all the sitting, the
+little owlet appears to be in reasonably good health.
+
+Ahem. Right. BarnOwl 1.8.1 is a security and bugfix release on top of
+BarnOwl 1.8.
+
+It has been installed in the Athena locker, and you can download it
+from the website [1] or get the source from Github [2]. BarnOwl 1.8.1
+fixes the following bugs:
+
+* Fix a denial of service when receiving empty zcrypted messages,
+  found by Alex Dehnert.
+
+* Fix a denial of service when receiving a zephyrgram with an
+  excessive number of fields, found by Luke Faraone.
+
+* Remove ^noc from the default reply-lockout filter.
+
+* Fix typo in unbindkey usage text, by new contributor Betsy Riley.
+
+* Correctly handle invalid filters passed to :view -d.
+
+* Fix a memory leak when sending a zcrypted message.
+
+* Display foreign realms in the default style.
+
+* Numerous fixups in handling personal vs non-personal zwrites. In
+  particular, cross-realm public zwrites will no longer send pings.
+
+The full Changelog is available online [3].
+
+Thank you for using BarnOwl, and we hope you enjoy the new release. As
+usual, any bug reports, questions, or feature requests can be directed
+to the developers at <barnowl@mit.edu>.
