Monday, 14 January 2008

The Joomla! Project today announced the immediate release of Joomla! 1.0.14 RC1 [Daybreak], the first and hopefully singular release candidate for the 1.0.14 release cycle. Several security issues have been discovered and addressed for this release. While the required changes are not significant, the number of impacted files are significant and we need your help. Before this release is declared stable we need to ensure that it works as well for you as it does for us.

Those of you that are able and willing please download a copy of 1.0.14 RC1 and test it on a backup copy of your live site. Make sure that the system works as good or better than Joomla! 1.0.13, our current stable release. Any issues that you find please report in the 1.0.x Bug Tracker. If you have questions on how to report a bug you should read the how-to and then if you still have questions please feel free to ask them in our 1.0.x Quality and Testing forum.

Since this release fixes security vulnerabilities, once you have verified on a backup of your site that everything works as expected we suggest that you upgrade your live site to this release.

RELEASE NOTES

Joomla! 1.0.14 RC1 is a release candidate that addresses several security issues that have been discovered since our last stable release, Joomla! 1.0.13 . It is regarded as a mostly stable release and after adequate testing on a backup or sandbox version of your live site you should upgrade your live site to 1.0.14 RC1. As soon as we are comfortable that the required security changes for this release have not broken any functionality from version 1.0.13 we will package and release a 1.0.14 Stable release.

Along with the security fixes listed below there were several other issues fixed in this release. Ranging from fixing administrator session log out problems to media manager, pagination and web links all the way to improper search word highlighting in the search component this release looks to be our most secure and stable one yet.
