Serendipity 0.7.1 released
Posted: Thu Dec 02, 2004 11:59 am
The Serendipity team is happy to announce the immediate availability of a maintaineance release of Serendipity 0.7.1.
This release only fixes three little issues:
* The captcha plugin may on certain system not create enough "randomness" to the string displayed in the graphic
* Fixed a possible cross site scripting vulnerability. Thanks to Stefan Esser for reporting this issue.
* Entries to be published in the future could be accessed by their future URL before being shown on the mainpage.
Upgrading from any version to 0.7.1 is very easy: Just extract the files of our release into your existing directory, open your blog and the automatic upgrader will do the rest. Creating a backup before is still a good idea for any software, though.
For users who want to easily patch their 0.7 release, you only need to copy over those files:
* serendipity_config.inc.php
* compat.inc.php
* NEWS
* serendipity_functions.inc.php
* plugins/serendipity_event_spamblock/serendipity_event_spamblock.php
Meanwhile we are heavily working on our upcoming 0.8 release, which already has a huge list of changes (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/p ... iew=markup).
We are also happy to announce that finally the DNS issues of www.s9y.org are resolved, and the ressource is up and running again. For the future, a backup DNS name 'www.s9y.info' is available.
Have fun,
the Serendipity Team
