security release

Earlier today, Drupal core was upgraded to version 5.6. This is a security release, and all users should upgrade.

For users with existing DrupalEd installs, you only need to upgrade core Drupal -- you do not need to use this specific package.

For new users to DrupalEd, this is the package for you.

This release features both security and maintenance upgrades.

For new users, this is the best version to download and install. The download tarball contains a directory named "Instructions" that contains some instructions on getting started. For additional help, and/or to get involved with the DrupalEd community, submit issues to the issue queue or join the DrupalEd group.

For existing users, you do not need to download and install this tarball. Rather, you should be managing your upgrades by using the update status module. This module will help you keep your DrupalEd install current and secure. If you have an existing DrupalEd site, you should upgrade immediately to keep your site secure.

The code upgrades included in this release include updates to the Calendar, Organic Groups, Pathauto, Date Range Filter, and Tagadelic modules, in addition to an upgrade to Drupal core.

For more information on the security upgrade, see the announcement.

From the upgrade notes included in the release:

This upgrade is in response to the CCK security announcement.

While this security upgrade only affects a specific use of CCK that is not present in the DrupalEd configuration, anyone running DrupalEd is strongly advised to upgrade. A healthy dose of paranoia regarding security concerns can save you hours of time/emotional distress.

Code updates:

• CCK
• Audio
• Update Status
• JavaScript Tools
• Views Bonus Pack

With the exception of CCK, none of these updates are related to security issues, but they bring the codebase up to date.

With the Views Bonus Pack, we upgraded to the dev version released August 11th to include the ability to export views in either CSV or DOC format.

To upgrade an existing 5.2 install, or to install a new site using DrupalEd, you can download the full codebase here.
