ImpressCMS is proud to announce the release of 1.1.2 Final. ImpressCMS 1.1.2 Final is being released to address several issues discovered along with various improvements made in many other areas. Users are encouraged to install this release in a production environment, or upgrade their existing sites.

What's new?

Fixed

• #244: $HTTP_SERVER_VARS replaced with $_SERVER in checklogin.php (vaughan)
• #245: $HTTP_SERVER_VARS replaced with $_SERVER in common.php (vaughan)
• #246: <>\/ specialchars were being stripped from password fields unneccessarily. changed from stopXSS to filter_var() (and use FILTER_SANITIZE_URL) which sanitizes and only allows characters that can be used in a URL (which is applicable for passwords) (vaughan)
• #246: SMTPAuth not working - xoopsmultimailer was setting authentication type to ssl (which is correct, but other issues with phpmailer prevent it) (skenow)
  
  

Changed

• Updated HTMLPurifier Library from 3.2.0 to 3.3.0 (various bugfixes in the library including a bugfix in youtube filter). (vaughan)

For a complete list of changes, read the changelog.

Where do I get it?

You can download the latest release from our file release system on SourceForge. The download packages allows you to either do a fresh installation, or upgrade from an earlier version of ImpressCMS or XOOPS.

What else do I need?

With this release, we are moving farther into only supporting stable versions of PHP5.  The current stable release of PHP is 5.2.8 and 5.2.7 has been removed from distribution because of several critical flaws.

• PHP: 5.2.0+(5.2.7 is NOT recommended!)
  
• MySQL: MySQL server 4.1.0+ - With UTF-8 Support
• Web server: Any server supporting the required PHP version (Apache highly recommended)
• Special characters require UTF-8 support from hosting providers.
• 16MB PHP Memory

How do I upgrade or install it?

Installing the full version of ImpressCMS 1.1.2
Upgrading a previous version of ImpressCMS or XOOPS
