In an ongoing effort to provide our users with a secure content management system, ImpressCMS is releasing 1.1.3 Beta. This release is a security update to the Smarty and PHPOpenID libraries.

Smarty is our current template engine, driving the way pages are built and displayed by ImpressCMS. PHPOpenID allows us to use OpenID authentication for logins on an ImpressCMS site.

While these are well contained updates and have been proven in our test environments, we are releasing this as a beta release - do not install this on a live site without testing or creating backups.

Where can I get the files?

You can download 1.1.3 Beta from our SourceForge repository. There are packages for complete installs and for upgrades of existing sites.

For upgrading existing sites, simply extract the files into your web site, then log in and update the system module. For full installations, follow the instructions in the Install Guide.

Both of the patches have been applied to our 1.2 Beta release.

There is a topic in the forums for posting and discussing results from your testing.
