A new patched release is out for both the Rust crate and Python package of magic-rs—the memory-safe implementation of libmagic!

This fixes incorrect file identification (e.g., MS Office docs). If you use magic-rs, update now to avoid false positives:

🔗 Rust: https://crates.io/crates/pure-magic
🔗 Python: https://pypi.org/project/pure-magic-rs/

⚠️ Also, don't forget to update your command line file detection companion wiza (What is Zat?): https://crates.io/crates/wiza

Thanks to the @Rafiot for reporting this!
