• All cached files have a fixed length record at the beginning which, if a web server tries to execute them, will be interpreted as PHP code and will cause an immediate exit.

The new version of Maps plugin is available for download.

The development of three new features was sponsored by the University of Kyoto (Japan)

• import and export markers
• overlays support
• image marker support

We can now export or import markers from one map to another or from one site to another via an  csv file. Overlays allow to superimpose an image on the map which allows you to add content to the tool provided by google maps. The markers can be customized with a picture.

Finally, so far all the markers were grouped in a cluster to increase display performance. Now we can choose (in the config) to display all markers regardless of the zoom of the map.

Geeklog 1.8.1 is now available for download. This is a maintenance and recommended upgrade for Geeklog 1.8.0.

This release ships with jQuery 1.6.3, which fixes a possible XSS in that JavaScript library, which shouldn't have affected Geeklog itself, but may potentially exist in add-ons that make extensive use of jQuery. Geeklog 1.8.1 also fixes two cases of information leakage, where the OAuth consumer key and secret were exposed when enabling the "rootdebug" option (which is off by default). Also, the MS SQL driver was displaying full details of SQL errors by default.

Other changes in this release:

• Fixed a regression in Geeklog 1.8.0 that made the [code] and [raw] tags not escape content properly.
• Fixed problems with adding or removing items to/from arrays in the Configuration.
• The admin's User Editor no longer loses changes when an error occured.
• Fixed images not being displayed in the story preview (when editing an existing story).
• Plugins can now set $_SCRIPTS in the plugin_getFooter() function.
• Fixed some warnings raised by PHP 5.4 (currently in beta).

There were no changes in the database, the themes or the language files in Geeklog 1.8.1 (over 1.8.0), so upgrades should be relatively straighforward.

Next up: We will now concentrate on Geeklog 1.9.0, which will bring some changes in topics, blocks, and the MySQL API that may affect existing plugins. Plugin authors are encouraged to join us on the geeklog-devel mailing list and also to try out the "nightly" tarball for early testing. ...

Geeklog 1.8.1 is a maintenance release and a recommended upgrade for Geeklog 1.8.0. The first release candidate is now available for download.

Geeklog 1.8.1 fixes a regression with the [code] and [raw] tags which didn't escape content properly in 1.8.0. This release also ships with jQuery 1.6.3, which fixes a possible XSS in that popular JavaScript library. To the best of our knowledge, this XSS did not affect Geeklog itself, but it may potentially exist with plugins that make extensive use of jQuery. For other changes, please see the documentation and the included ChangeLog.

Geeklog 1.8.1 does not introduce any changes in the language files (other than some updated or new translations), in the theme, or in the database. So upgrades from Geeklog 1.8.0 should be pretty straightforward.

Please help us test this release candidate so that we can release the final version soon. Thanks. ...
