Joomla! 1.0.7 released!

[stingrey]

Joomla! 1.0.7 [ Sunburst ] is now available as of Sunday 15th January 2006 21:00 UTC for download here. 1.0.7 is essentially 1.0.6 repackaged to fix one major bug in 1.0.6 - therefore it should still be considered a Security Release.  It contains nine (9) `Low Level` Security Fixes, and seventy (70) plus minor/non-critical bug fixes.

We recommend that you upgrade to this version. If you are running 1.0.6 you MUST upgrade to 1.0.7

1.0.7 is available as a Full Package, which contains all Joomla! files and a Patch Package which contains only the files that have been changed by the Security & Bug Fix work conducted.

To ensure the integrity of the files you are downloading you are advised only to download from the 'Official Source' on the Official Joomla! Forge.  As a extra security measure we now make public the MD5 checksum of the respective package files to allow people to do integrity checking.

I unreservedly and unequivocably apologize for the debacle that was the 1.0.6 release.
I hope that noone was severaly affected or inconvenianced by problems caused by the use of 1.0.6

I accept full responsibility for the error in 1.0.6 that has caused 1.0.7s immediate release.  It was me who introduced the code (after the Beta had been released to the testers) and it was me who had final responsibility for testing and packaging 1.0.6.

I remain fully committed to ensuring the quality of the Joomla! stable code base and rest assured an examination of how to improve procedures will be conducted

No excuses it shouldnt have happened and we will work to ensure that it doesnt again.
