MindTouch 9.02.4, the latest incremental release for the MindTouch Lyons family of releases is now available for all open source and commercial deployments.

This release, which contains 14 bugfixes, should be considered as a high-priority update, as it contains critical fixes for two bugs that could cause data-loss; one which involves redirect pages, and the other which involves file revisions.

With this release, there’s now one change to the API that may affect applications built on top of the MindTouch platform. Bug #6560 prevents access to the POST:users feature without an API key - this is to prevent spammers from programatically hitting the API and creating fake users. If your application is utilizing POST:users, you will have to update your application to send in an API key (or admin credentials).

For savvy Linux users of MindTouch, you may have noticed that there was never a MindTouch 9.02.3 release. This was intentional - MindTouch 9.02.3 was the basis of our MindTouch 2009 for Windows release and did not contain enough critical bugfixes to warrant repackaging. When you download MindTouch 9.02.4, you’ll also get the MindTouch 9.02.3 bugfixes as well.
