1.0.8 Release Announcement - Corrections

[damo]

it says here:
http://www.joomla.org/content/view/940/74/
under upgrade instructions

Upgrading from any version of Joomla! 1.0.x to 1.0.8, simply involves overwriting your current sites files, with the files in the proper Patch Package that applies to your site.  So if you are running Joomla! 1.0.5, you will need the 1.0.5 to 1.0.7 Patch Package.

does that mean you've got to patch up to 1.0.7 before patching to 1.0.8?

No it was my error - which I have corrected.

You can upgrade directly to 1.0.8

Hi

Correct link for LOG CHANGE Version 1.0.8 is http://www.joomla.org/content/view/938/78/

Kindly correct in original post

The release notice says:

    * 37 Security Fixes
    * 70+ General bug fixes
    * Several Performance enhancements

and also:

...Patch Packages which contain only the files that have been changed by the Security & Bug Fix work conducted.

I read this as saying that the patch package does not contain the performance enhancements. Is this correct?

I have rewritten it to make more sense.

All files changed by the Stability work are found in the Patch Packages.
Security, General Bug fixes and the performance improvements.

Hi Rey,

On this page: http://www.joomla.org/content/view/940/74/1/2/
Page 3 of the full announcement there is a link labelled

Download `Joomla! Security Audit - A2 Broken Access Control [26 Feb 2006]`

which links to: http://forge.joomla.org/sf/go/doc1518?nav=1
and the text

3rd Party addon developers Must read the report to ensure they institute internal testing of their products, to ensure a similar vulnerability does not exist within their applications.

As someone who has knocked out the odd component I am obviously interested in reading more but the link generates the following error on the forge:

The page you requested cannot be found.
If you feel you have received this message in error, please contact the SourceForge administrator.

Can you give us a pointer to the item in question?

Dean

Apologies, corrected.

I was unaware that the area I had stored the document was restricted only for Project members

Just upgraded without any problem.

[Martjan]

Just a minor point: http://developer.joomla.org/sf/frs/do/viewSummary/projects.joomla/frs has a button to download 1.0.7

[pages]

Amazing!!! (thanks a lot)

minor point: the graphic in the announcement (software box) shows 1.0.7 

[Hackwar]

On the mainpage on the left side, the last stable release button still states Joomla 1.0.7

You need to clear your browser cache - FF 1.5 is much more robust in its caching
