Spanish, German, French, Italian and Portuguese language packs have been uploaded for TenderSystem 0.9.4.1.

Please note that the language packs were translated by Google so should only be used as a basis. Please send us any updated language packs and we will release them to the community.

TenderSystem 0.9.4.1 Beta has been released. This is a critical security fix and we recommend that everyone upgrade to the new version immediately.

As stated yesterday a server may be compromised if register_globals are active in PHP. We still recommend that you deactivate register globals as it is a massive security risk even if you have upgraded.

As usual go and download the new distribution and enjoy. You can now also use the auto upgrade functionality if TenderSystem is already installed.
