Joomla! 1.0.8 is now available for download. “We highly recommend that you upgrade to this version. 1.0.8 contains 37 security fixes, 70+ general bug fixes and several performance enhancements.

Shortly after the public release of Joomla! 1.0.7, a public discussion on the Joomla! forums reported that Poll data was visible or accessible despite being Unpublished – it was also mentioned that other unpublished core data may also be visible.

To properly investigate the matter and to ensure there weren’t other similar vulnerabilities within the Joomla! core code base a Security Audit was instituted.

The results of this audit make up a large bulk (30+) of the security fixes contained in 1.0.8.”

You can find details, upgrading instructions, and the mentioned Security Audit in the release announcement.
