Forum: Typo Typo 5.0.4 beta 2 is out, fixes a critical security vulnerability

Michael Morin has discovered a critical vulnerability in Typo priori
to release 5.0.4.98.1 which may lead to arbitrary code execution and
privilege escalation on Typo blogs. Even though 5.0.4b1 was released
yesterday, this vulnerability is critical enough to make us release
5.0.4b2 today.

This release also fixes a bunch of bugs such as :
– Missing dependencies in the installer (thx Scott Likens for pointing
this out)
– articles.rss and articles.atom bad naming.
– Bad unordered lists display on the new default theme.

You can download typo at 
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=555&release_id=23488
  or just update your gem.

Cheers,
Frédéric / neuro

    Hello, Frédéric!  For those of us who are relatively new to Typo, is
there a "best practice" for upgrading an existing Typo-based blog?
