Security upgrade version released
As of this writing a new version of slidePresenter has been released which addresses security concerns mentioned in the July 4, 2007 security alert. slidePresenter-0.40-beta-2 includes significant changes, specifically the addition of the SLP_SECURITY setting, which accepts values “MoreCautious” and “MoreConvenient”. “MoreCautious” mode requires the use of command-line scripts for adding and removing slides and presentations, whereas in “MoreConvenient” mode these features are available directly from the Web interface.
As with slidePresesenter-0.40-beta, this release does not provide tools to upgrade from previous versions. These tools will be made available in the stable release of slidePresenter-0.40. Subscribers to the slides-announce list will be notified when that version has been released.
