+Version 1.29.1 (2018-09-25)
+===========================
+
+Security Notes
+--------------
+
+- The standard library's `str::repeat` function contained an out of bounds write
+ caused by an integer overflow. This has been fixed by deterministically
+ panicking when an overflow happens.
+
+ Thank you to Scott McMurray for responsibily disclosing this vulnerability to
+ us.
