XML RPC patch..

23:48

Pivot uses an external library called XML RPC, which has been found to contain a security vulnerability. Thankfully, patching it is fairly easy. We strongly advise you to do this at your earliest convenience. These instructions apply to all versions of Pivot from 1.0 and up.

Here’s what you should do:

Get this file: Pivot XML-RPC patch.
Unzip it.
Upload the two .inc files to your pivot/includes/xmlrpc-1.0.99.2/ folder.

After that, you’re done. No need to rebuild or re-index. Note that this update will not change the version number on your install, so don’t be alarmed that it’s still the same.

I’ve also updated the most recent stable and development versions to version 1.24.2 and 1.30 alpha 3.1. If you’ve applied the patch linked above, you will not need these.

Thanks for the quick work!

Thanks.
Note: the readme.txt in the ZIP-file mentions that the files must be uploaded to xmlrpx-1.0.99.2; this should be xmlrpc-1.0.99.2 (x=c).

Ugh, I upload them before I read the recent versions are yet fixed X’D
BTW a little quick question (I don’t want to bother you on the forum): If I use the dev version, when you’ll make the stable one and I have to update, that means that all my current datas will be erased? Or it’s just a sort of patched upgrade?

Sorry for my awful English, I hope to get an answer (thanks in advance!)

The next stable release will be made with both ‘full’ and ‘upgrade’ releases. You will be able to upgrade existing Pivot versions without loss of data.

Dear Bob,

Thanks for yet another improvement in an already real cool weblog tool. Keep up the good work! Still, there’s something i’ve been wondering about for quite some time now: where in the Administration section can I find the settings to get visitors to my site? Is there a button or checkbox I’ve overlooked?

Best wishes,
hexx

Hexx, I’m not quite sure what you’re asking about, but you should really take questions to the forum ;-)

Okay, thanks. You’re a real pal!
