Release 2.4.1

* Improve some wording (again)
* Change default type for refresh option to False (does not affect
  behavior)
* Update docstrings to reflect last changes
* Configuration.__convert_path has been replaced by shlex
* aiosecurity functions support kwargs now

+## Reporting a Vulnerability

However, if your report could lead to data leak or break the system we kindly ask you to contact [current maintainer](AUTHORS) directly by email.

 Alternatively you can create full-diff patches, which are calculated by using ``git diff`` from current PKGBUILD master branch:
 
-#. Clone sources from AUR.
-#. Make changes you would like to (e.g. edit ``PKGBUILD``, add external patches).
