Textpattern 4.0.5 released

After quite a while and lots of work from many, many people it’s finally here. Textpattern 4.0.5 is available as always on the download page.

We have fixed one security issue (XSS) on the public-side with comment-previews, which means that updates are strongly recommended. The relevance and potential attack vectors are described on wikipedia [type 1]. Since the authentification cookie is restricted to the admin-directory and not accessible from the front-end, in most cases this means “only” the info from the comment-data-cookie might be leaked. Users that run textpattern together with other software or third party plugins that set cookies might be at risk of having other data leaked, when a user can be tricked into following certain links.

Updates should be seamless for the vast majority of people, otherwise make sure that all plugins are also updated to their most recent version. We’ll add entries to the FAQ specifically for 4.0.5 where questions may arise. There’s also a very minor, low-impact issue for 4.0.5rc1-testers, but I’ll write more about that in the next few days, but nothing that has any impact on updating to 4.0.5 final right away.

Changes since 4.0.4:

  2. And not forgetting Zem. Thanks guys, you’ve changed the way I think about publishing on the web! After having tried many other content management systems I can safely say Textpattern is my absolute favourite to develop in.

    A big thank you everyone who contributed.
