Plenty. However, 1.9.19 does not ship with INN's wildmat function, so
it's unaffected. 

There are: 

Cornelius' leafnode 1.9.19 (for which I recommend my locking fix)
my         leafnode 1.9.19.ma2 which has XOVER support in fetchnews (and
                               includes the locking fix)
Cornelius' leafnode 2.0b8 (for which I recommend my locking fix and
                           Jörg's localgroups fix)
my         leafnode 2.0b8_ma7
my         leafnode 2.0b8_ma7.xpre (snapshots, to become 2.0b8_ma8)

No, nothing bad happened, it has just got some company.

None. Regretfully, any version has some bugs. In my spare time, I'm
killing off bugs and rewriting code.

Yup.
