Hello,

As the subject says, file-5.48 is now available for download at:

	https://www.astron.com/pub/file/file-5.48.tar.gz
	ftp://ftp.astron.com/pub/file/file-5.48.tar.gz

This again is a bug fix release with a couple of minor enhancements and
many magic fixes. The previous version had a serious regression in PR/745,
so this is is a recommended upgrade. See below for the full ChangeLog
since the previous release.

Enjoy,

christos
