I have been working through the bug list and while there are indeed new annoying open issues, perhaps the CVE-fix is enough reason to just forge ahead. >[wintertime, regarding the news item] > Should it be mentioned that even older versions are affected and which? AFAICT the dodgy Java call has been in use since at least 0.10.0. Ironically, there used to be a lot more of them! I mentioned 0.11.6 explicitly because that the only version we are really supporting at this point (i.e. if you report a bug in earlier FreeCol the first thing I want to know is if you have tried the current release). However feel free to say something like "All supported FreeCol releases prior to 20191227" or thereabouts. > When should people upgrade? Well I always tell people who just want to play FreeCol to use the latest stable release, and I would continue to say that. However that is just my opinion. Do we even want to make an Official Recommendation? Cheers, Mike Pope
