Announcing Pligg CMS Version 1.1.5
There aren't too many changes since the 1.1.4 version of Pligg, but there are a couple security fixes that we needed to address before making some larger leaps for our next release. The next version will most likely be 1.2.0 and will include a larger list of updates and new features.

New Features and Fixes

1. Security fix
2. Fix for group categories
3. Replaced a deprecated mysql_list_tables function: http://forums.pligg.com/project.php?issueid=1209
4. .htaccess fix for localhost installs.
5. Who voted no longer shows spammer users
6. Changed how user avatar links are generated (now full path).
7. Human check module update to make sure the random fields don't share the same name.
8. Update to hide discarded stories from normal user or logged out view.
9. Removed character count from submission page because the javascript conflicts with story preview.
10. Previously all comments were being highlighted, when the highlight was intended for moderated comments.
11. Fixed a problem when stories marked as "not spam" in Akismet was having the effect as though they were spam.
12. Anonymous comment change to allow comment subscription module to work
13. Fixed a couple mysql errors being reported to error log
14. Added user ID numbers to Admin > Manage > Users
15. Profile avatars will now use user IDs as their file name. Shouldn't break previous username based avatars. This addresses a bug caused by UTF-8 character usernames.

The above list is a short list of some of the updates, you can read our SVN update logs for the full list.

Upgrading
The upgrade process from the previous 1.1.4 release is very simple. Just copy the new 1.1.5 files over the previous 1.1.4 files, overwriting the older files. When that completes run the upgrade script from /install/upgrade.php to update your Pligg CMS version number (and perform other upgrade tasks) to complete the upgrade process.You may want to double check your language file after upgrading to make sure that the final line on it shows the following:

// End 1.1.5 Language File

1.1.5 Template Updates

The following template files were updated since the previous release. We recommend that you use software like Winmerge to compare the Wistie template directories from the 1.1.4 release and the 1.1.5 release to see specific changes.

Some of the files marked as important updates may actually be skipped because what we did was un-sanitize some smarty code since it is now sanitized by the PHP end. We removed some of the smarty sanitization so that it doesn't try to double sanitize queries, but it probably won't do you any harm running that extra check.

1. header.tpl
2. login_center.tpl - removed double sanitization
   
3. pligg.tpl - removed double sanitization
4. user_center.tpl - removed double sanitization
   
5. comment_show.tpl - corrected moderated comment coloring
   
6. submit_step_2.tpl - disabled character counter
