Hi!
We released some new versions of Moodle last week: full details
about them are on the sparkly new Moodle download page.
As usual these point releases wrap up a good number of small
fixes and enhancements, including a brand-new security report
from Petr Skoda that helps admins discover and correct insecure
settings (note that a small performance issue affecting some
users has already been fixed since 1.9.4 so get the latest
weekly if you can)
Most importantly, there are also fixes for all the security
vulnerabilities reported on the Moodle Tracker over the past few
months (thanks to all those who reported them!). Full details of
these security fixes are, as usual, disclosed on our security
page. (Note that administrators of registered Moodle sites were
already informed about these releases a week ago as per our
normal release process). To keep your sites safe all you need to
do is upgrade your Moodle sites as soon as you can! If you would
like to discuss any of the disclosed vulnerabilities or general
techniques to improve the security of your own site, please come
to our Security and Privacy forum.
It's also worth mentioning that Moodle 1.6.9 and Moodle 1.7.7
mark the last builds that the core team plan to release from
those branches (unless someone else volunteers to maintain them)
due to the amount of work involved. In short, please upgrade to
later versions! smile
In the meantime, we are also pushing ahead rapidly with the
Moodle 2.0 roadmap and a number of enhancements for Moodle 1.9.5
... some exciting things lie ahead!
Cheers,
Martin
P.S. Did I mention you really should upgrade your Moodle sites?
