Thanks for the heads up!

No Problem

[Jason]

from SMF today (10/29/2006)...

Simple Machines is happy to release a new update to Simple Machines Forum 1.0 and 1.1. This release addresses a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the search function. Also a few smaller issues have been addressed.

Note that the fix for the SMF 1.0.x branch will be released as new version 1.0.9, while the fix for the 1.1 RC3 branch will merely be released as patched version, the version of the forum will remain 1.1 RC3 (therefore, most of the modifications should remain compatible).

If you currently have installed 1.0.8 or 1.1 RC3, you can do either of the following to upgrade:
* Use the package manager in your administration center - one click, and you're done.
* Download the update archive file from the download page, and upload all of the files from it.
* Download the modification file, attached to this message, and modify the files manually according to it.

So we released 1.1 almost a whole 2 days ago to our Charter Members Jason, what are you waiting for?

Heh, the email has been in my inbox waiting for me to get to it.  I'll probably upgrade tonight.  I'm spending most of my time (among other things) working on the new design for Charlottezweb.  Too much going on at once!

[Mark]

Ah I see, can't wait to see the new design BTW.

And what makes you think you're supposed to be immune to the kind of thing that hits the rest of us. Being immune doesn't come with being a Charter Member...does it???

I sure wish they would release it to the rest of us in a few days, so we can put up the red or green variation for the holidays. I'm stuck in limbo trying to decide whether to make holiday buttons for our 1.0.9 Loon style, or 'HOPE' to have 1.1 in just a few days.

How long do they usually wait between when the Charter Members get things and the time they let the rest of us have it?

Thanks for any clues.

Well, that's top secret info.  :O

I think some of the past releases have been from several weeks and up behind Charter members.  This is honestly just a guess, but I'd *think* they'd do it just in time for Christmas but that's just my guess.

I'm upgrading this forum just as soon as a backup I'm running completes. 

[Mark]

I'd chime in with an answer to the 'When?' question, but I'm sure we all know what I'm going to say.

Killer.....    ROFL

I look forward to seeing it Jason. Thanks.

[Mark]

I see you've updated, now your theme needs some serious updating, I don't wanna see you slacking. j/k

[Jason]

Koni needs to get on it!! 

[CountryLady]

You know, I've just about talked myself into becoming a Charter Member.

You guys are hound dogs.  

[Mark]

Speaking as myself and not as a team member of Simple Machines, I'd say it's worth it.

Actually, before I was a team member I was a charter member.

Jason, do you know if the theme you are using is a 1.1 RC3 theme, or earlier? If it's RC3, you can follow this guide to get your theme up to par.
