Tuesday, 11 November 2008 10:03

A bug/security fix has just been released for Joomla. Grab it while it's hot. This fixes the issue first reported on my post 1.5.7 Security Issue?, which led to a rift between Joomla and JoomlaTools. Full details after the break:

Security

* Two moderate-level security issues were fixed in this release:
o Default filtering for content
