Latest posts module removed from system
« on: February 13, 2004, 03:28:24 AM »
Ladies and Gents,

We apologize, but after discovering the existence of a rather large security bug in the "Latest Posts" (technically named "lastposts") module, we immediately removed it from the system.  This module has been abandoned by the author, so it is unlikely that a bug-fixed version will be available any time soon, either under Xoops 1.x OR 2.x.  

Due to the security risk involved, we will be unable to reinstate it until we have manually written and tested our own version.  

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

Wayne Hunt
