“We are pleased to announce the release of Xaraya Core 1.1.3, a maintenance release offering further improvements and bug fixes on the 1.x series.”

This core release includes security enhancements, so all users are strongly encouraged to upgrade, and also a number of general improvements, e.g. the upgrade of ADOdb to version 4.93a.

For additional details and upgrading instructions please see the release announcement. The full changelog is available online, and in the distribution package.

Movable Type 3.35 has been released, mainly because of “a XSS vulnerability that was found in our comment preview code. The vulnerability affects only a small number of people, but we felt it important to address the issue as soon as we could. And since we were turning on the release machines we went ahead and tackled a couple of other bug fixes and introduced a new feature as well.”

The new feature is a greatly improved installation process. Now a Setup Wizard helps users configure the platform on their web server, asking a few questions and then taking care of the rest.

Another important change is on how you download Movable Type. Now users seeking the personal and free edition no longer have to create a TypeKey account to download the software, they just click the link that says “Download Movable Type”.

For additional information and instructions to fix the security vulnerability, please refer to the release announcement.

The first maintenance release of the LifeType 1.2 branch has just been released. Among the addressed issues:

* an important issue that only affects LifeType running in Windows servers whose system character set is double-byte (such as Chinese Windows systems running with Big5 as the encoding);

* several issues related to MySQL 5 strict mode;

* issues with the preview feature;

* issues with permissions system.

For the full list of issues fixed in this release, and for upgrading instructions, please read the release announcement.

“A slight flaw has been discovered in the verify_image() function used to ensure that images do not contain malicious code. But, don’t panic, because I am pleased to report that this problem has been addressed.”

PHP-Fusion 6.01.10 is available for download, and all users are advised to upgrade immediately. For further details, and for upgrade instructions, please read the release announcement.
