Topic: SMF 2.0.4 and 1.1.18 critical security patches released

[emanuele]

Dear users,

Simple Machines has released a critical security patch with version numbers: SMF 1.1.18 and SMF 2.0.4.
A few critical security issues have been identified in the two maintained versions and are fixed with this update, therefore it is recommended to make sure you update your forums immediately to ensure your community is safe. For SMF 2.0.x this update includes a few other minor bugs that have been fixed.

If you are running 2.0.3, you can update your forum to 2.0.4 using the package manager. You should see the upgrade notification in the Admin panel and in the package manager, allowing you to download and install seamlessly. If you don't have a notification about the update, please run the scheduled task "Fetch Simple Machines files".
You can also download the update for 2.0.3 from the customize site (Upgrades site page): smf_patch_2.0.4.tar.gz, and install it using the package manager.

If you are running 1.1.17, you can update to 1.1.18 from the package manager, following the instructions in the notification in the Admin panel, or downloading the patch from the customize site (Upgrades site page): smf_patch_1.1.18.tar.gz, and installing it using the package manager.

If you use older versions of SMF, you can upgrade with the full upgrade packages from the downloads page.
Please find the changelog for the latest release, as usual, on the downloads page as well:

So when you upgrade to 2.0.4 do mods that are only 2.0.3 compatible quit working on 2.0.4?

[Yoshi]

Most if not all mods for 2.0.3 should still work in 2.0.4.

All I get is an error when clicking the "update your forum " link.

Most if not all mods for 2.0.3 should still work in 2.0.4.

I guess "Custom Copyright" is at least one of the exceptions.

I will look for help in the support thread for that mod.

I'm running 3 SMF boards, the first 2 went without any problems, but the third says :

1.   Execute Modification   smf_2-0-4_patch.xml   Modification parse error
2.   Execute Modification   smf_2-0-4_patch.xml   Modification parse error

Any suggestions?

[emanuele]

Download the package again?
