[UseBB-Announce] UseBB 1.0.11 released

[UseBB P. <co...@us...>]

The UseBB Project releases UseBB 1.0.11, a new bugfix and maintenance
release for the UseBB 1 light PHP 4 and MySQL bulletin board system.

* Changes since 1.0.10

  - Fixed security issue with forum/topic RSS feeds with "read" forum
permission;
  - increased possibilities when deleting users, i.e. removing all
posts and banning email address/domain;
  - preview feature and bugs fixed for member pruning.

Much more changes and bug fixes were made. See the Changelog for a
complete list.

* RSS feeds security issue

A security issue has been discovered in UseBB 1.0.10 with per forum
and topic RSS feeds in combination with restricted forum access
permissions, giving users access to post contents that should remain
hidden. Anyone having a restricted "read" permission set but NOT an
equal or more restricted "view" one is prone to this issue.

A full disclosure and patch was released earlier at
http://www.usebb.net/community/topic-2495.html. There is no need to
apply the patch before upgrading to 1.0.11.

* Support for PHP 5.3

Although UseBB 1 is written in PHP 4 and upto now still uses some PHP
features that will be removed in future major releases (and thus are
currently deprecated), UseBB 1.0.11 remains working and supported
under the recent PHP 5.3. Code rewriting to avoid using deprecated
functions will take place for future 1.0.x releases.

* Upgrading

Upgrading to UseBB 1.0.11 is STRONGLY encouraged. Any version equal or
less than 1.0.10 is now out of official support. Visit
http://www.usebb.net/downloads/ for downloads. Information about
upgrading is available in the docs/index.html document. Upgrading
usually is as easy as overwriting a set of files.
