1.5.1 Final "bug/security" update package

[Nemesis]

Please upgrade to 1.5.2.

Here are some bug fixes and a security update for YaBB SE 1.5.1.

All users are recommended to upgrade their boards to this fix. These packages fix a large security hole in YaBB SE 1.5.1 Final and a few reported bugs.

Before updating it is recommended to backup all files and db structure, just incase anything happens.

Changes:

• fixed edit profile on windows servers.
  
• fixed dutch uses wrong images.
  
• fixed security hole.
  
• fixed Printpage doesn't do nested quotes.
  
• updated spanish new.gif.
  
• readme.html no longer claims OSI certification.
  
• readme.html doesn't tell you to upload files that you won't have.
  
  
  Users can update their board using one of the three diffrent methods:
  
• Traditional download and replace files. (Good for un-modded boards.)

Please be aware that if you choose to run the mod file you will also have to download the zip package for non-moded boards.  From this package you will have to upload new.gif and dutch.lng.  Also note that for the YaBB Pack you will have to manually download the file to your Packages directory.

I just upgraded my board to 1.5.1 and was about to do my mods when I saw this.
I did the bug fix.
Now, a modding I shall go.

As I said in my post, upload it to your Packages folder.  Then goto your admin center -> YaBB Pack - > Browse YaBB Packs -> Then click on Apply Mod for this one.

No, more should not be expected.  This should be the last release in the 1.x code line.

If anything major is found we'll let everyone know, but we don't expect another package.

We place those names just in case there ever is a need for one, new security hole, major bug, etc...

Well I don't care if it doesn't edit the profile right on Windows servers. The best fix would be to use a *nix server.

My Dutch users (if any) say thanks.

Deleted news.php a long time ago.

Thanks

thanks for the new image. Don't know what it says but I bet Spanish folks do.

Too bad about the OSI certification.

Is this fix allread in the standard download of 1.5.1 or shout i if i download it still have to patch it?

Arab_ME - It's recommended you update from 1.4.1 to 1.5.1 Final, then make these changes (or when it is uploaded to SF go from there)
1.5.1 is more secure and stable as well as faster.

Sourceforge has NOT been updated yet.

Yes I know that, but my host did not upgrade PHP yet. And some folks still using the old version cause of the PHP restriction.
