Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] Updated patch

Jim,

The issue was that somebody posted this exploit to a public list without
letting the development team know. When things like this happen,
regression testing isn't possible. Unless you'd like to wait a few days
for security releases that are in the wild. Regression testing is fine fo=
r
normal things. All fixes are announced on the internet as well. Either
through the bug tracker on sf.net or with new releases. Spend the time an=
d
write all regression tests and I'm sure they'd be considered. If you
understand the nature of cvs commits, you'd know that only released code
gets tested. The cvs repository can and often contains bugs. Or sometimes
doesn't work at all. The primary purpose of cvs isn't for building
functional code. That's what release processes are for. There will have t=
o
be alot more testing on the latest fix before it is finalized. It was a
hack to get things protected for users. There will be more work on this
and a more formally tested release given.
