Simple Machines is proud to announce the release of SMF 1.1.3.

In this release, a few small security issues have been addressed. Also, a few bugs that were found have been fixed.

We urge all users to upgrade to SMF 1.1.3 as soon as possible to take advantage of these fixes. A summary of the fixes is as follows:

• Sending newsletters could cause a timeout on large boards.
• Reporting a personal message needed some more sanitation.
• Session fixation could, in rare cases, be applied - reported by David Vieira-Kurz.
• Prevent recursive functions from causing a stack overflow in PHP - reported by Stefan Esser.
• Fixed a bug causing some expressions to trigger an error in UTF-8 mode.
• Quick edit wasn't updating the subject correctly if it was the first message.
• The package manager could in rare cases get itself into a loop.
• Characters weren't properly escaped in [html] parts of the signature
• Quick edit didn't check whether a topic was being locked

For users currently running SMF 1.1.2, upgrading could not be easier. Simply log into your forum and visit your admin center - a notice should inform you an update is available. Follow the instructions to patch your release - this should not generally affect any modifications, language packs or themes you have installed. Alternatively download the attached patch file and upload to your "Packages" directory and visit the package manager to install this fix.

If you cannot upgrade using the package manager please follow the instructions posted in the Online Manual about installing and upgrading.

For users currently running SMF 1.0.10, a separate version has been released: 1.0.11. Just like the 1.1.x branch users, you can simply upgrade through the admin center or download and apply the attached patch.

Finally - please do not use this topic for any support requests. You will get a much more prompt response by visiting the relevant support board!

Thanks,

Simple Machines

Boo! I'm not getting it. Stupid lag.

Goto package manager and it should tell you there is an update available.

I know - It just takes a while for SMF to realize that it's outdated. It fixed overnight.

Package Manager will always check for new updates, main admin page caches the check for a few hours so as not to cause slowness everytime you visit admin.

Ahh, I guess that would explain it.
