RIG Image Gallery / News: Recent posts

RIG-Thumbnails 1.0 is available.
Due to the recent security vulnerability, it is highly recommended that you update to this version.
See previous post http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=585246
for more info.

There's a serious security vulnerability in the current version of RIG (anything < 0.7.5).

I consequently removed all old file releases so that nobody can download a potentially insecure package.

Fixing the vulnerability is relatively easy.
However, given how this was handled, namely that not only the so-called "security researcher" David "Aesthetico" Vieira-Kurz from http://www.majorsecurity.de posted the vulnerability without contacting me first but he also posted the address of my server and consequently my server got compromised in a matter or hours (and that's how I found out he had posted the vulnerability), well given the shameful act from this one person I'm no longer willing to use, promote or develop RIG. I'm all for full disclosure but only made by responsible people.

RIG-thumbnail has been updated. The stable 0.7 is available as well as the latest bug fix 0.7.2.
Go get them right now! :-)

RIG-Thumbnail has been updated: the 0.6.4.4 release is being promoted to stable. A new 0.6.4.5 release has been uploaded in unstable.

A "general" forum and mailing list have been created for the rig-thumbnail project. Please write in all your comments: suggestions, feature requests, etc.

The project has been added under Freshmeat, id 35354.
The link is http://freshmeat.net/projects/rig-thumbnail

Note: the project was not accepted by Freshmeat moderators. "Too many image galleries out there yet". Whatever.

Changed the files sections to have stable vs unstable (development releases).
Uploaded version 0.6.2.3 as most recent stable, and version 0.6.3.0 and 0.6.3.1 as most recent unstable.
