Yes, it does. I strongly recommend to upgrade to 2.0.1. You will need to make a large upgrade, since from RC5 to 2.0 there is no patch, only from 2.0 to 2.0.1 your forum can be upgraded with the patch. Please note that there are security weaknesses addressed in 2.0 as well, so I really recommend that you upgrade your forum, when possible.

Thanks! Is there a preferred way of doing this? All i have to do is apply this patch and it is upgrade or do i have to upgrade to new version from download page first.. thx again

There is no patch file for any RC version. If you are running any RC version,,you must use the "large upgrade" pack and replace all of the files.

take a look at Upgrading SMF and if you have further questions please open a separate thread in the proper board.

will do! thanks! but upgrading for my version is recommended even though the patch isnt for mine?

[Illori]

yes you need to upgrade to latest version so you will have the security issues since your version was released patched. once you upgrade to 2.0.1 you do NOT need to install the patch.

Was the 1.0 branch updated or not this time?  I'm assuming there is no update to apply to it, right?

[Illori]

if a version is affected by the security issue a patch will be issued otherwise they are not affected by the issue.

Added to main and test forums via Package Manager apparently without a hitch.

Thanks to the SMF developers for their hard work.

Thanks. My forum was upgraded instantaneously (so it seemed) to 2.0.1 with a couple of clicks. I notice you haven't upgraded your own forum yet. 

[MarkRH]

Saw the notice in the 2.0 Admin Center. Backed up database and files, clicked the update link, all is well.

Thanks
