While the MindTouch team has been busy working on new features for the Noatak release, we’ve also felt it necessary to backport some bugs (of the security and performance nature) which have been hindering our customers.
Both MindTouch Core as well as our commercial customers can pick up version 9.08.1, which is a hardening release with 47 bugs fixed. This release should be considered a must-upgrade, as there were a couple edge case security bugs that have been resolved.
You can check out the whole bugfix history on our release notes page, but here are a few highlighted pain points that I know many of our users have been running into:
- Bugfix 6928: Link dialog search stops after a period
- Bugfix 7176: Custom extensions do not reliably start on host restart
- Bugfix 6390: Edit and ACL and check ‘Apply to children’ trashes children’s ACLs
- Bugfix 7172: xPath Namespace prefix “_” is invalid or undefined
- A couple XSS holes on special pages have been fixed
- Leaking of the API key through certain API exceptions has been fixed
