Posted by admin

April 6, 2009

Drupal is glad to announce its new versions have come into the world. Fixed and upgraded Drupal 6.10 and 5.16 are now available for free download so if you want your Drupal site to work smoothly and properly it is highly recommended to update it now, although there are no new features.

Please check the release notes to see the full list of changes between versions 6.9/6.10 and 5.15/5.16, and check the list of all the bug fixes in Drupal-6 branch and Drupal-5 branch.

As for the security vulnerabilities maintained in Drupal 5.16 and 6.10 you can find all the details in the security official advisories

- SA-CORE-2009-003
- SA-CORE-2009-004

If there is a security problem you can fix it via upgrading or patching Drupal. But full upgrade is recommended because patches do not support bug fixes added to the releases.
Making use of patches may leave your website unupdated so thus the status module will be confused reminding you each time to upgrade your Drupal to newest version.

But if you still want to patch your Drupal you need to apply http://drupal.org/files/sa-core-2009-003/SA-CORE-2009-003-6.9.patch file to Drupal 6.10 codebase or http://drupal.org/files/sa-core-2009-004/SA-CORE-2009-004-5.15.patch to Drupal 5.15 codebase.

Don’t forget to run update.php as it is very important.
