Dear Members,

Simple Machines Forum has released a new patch to the 2.0.x line, bringing our latest release version to 2.0.15.

This patch adds both important security and general maintenance fixes to your forum, so it is imperative that you install this patch quickly.
You can view the changelog for this release, per usual, on the downloads page.

The quick summary of changes is as follows:

    A security issue reported by Daniel Le Gall from SCRT SA
    Various bug fix with Proxy handler
    Login fixes for SSI and Maintenance mode
    Various Search fixes
    Email handling issue fixed when using SendTopic
    Fixed SM Stat collection and added opt in/out functionality to the Admin Panel


Please see the changelog for more information.

If you are running version 2.0.14, you can update your forum to the latest version by using the package manager. As usual, you should see the update notification in the admin panel notifications and in the package manager, which will allow you to download and install the patch seamlessly.  If you do not see the notification about the patch, please run the scheduled task "Fetch Simple Machines files" from the Scheduled Tasks page (Admin > Maintenance > Scheduled Tasks > Fetch Simple Machines Files (check the "Run Now" checkbox and click the "Run Now" button)).

If you use older versions of SMF, you can upgrade directly to 2.0.15 from whichever version you are currently using by using the "full upgrade" archive from the downloads page. Be aware that using this upgrade method will require you to reinstall any customizations that you have added to your forum, so if you are running a version of the 2.0.x series, it is recommended that you apply the successive patches instead of using the full upgrade.

Please do not use this topic for support requests.
You will receive a much quicker and better response by posting in the 2.0.x Support Board.

If you are having problems downloading the patch from the admin panel, you can download the patch package from the upgrade patches page and install it via the package manager, as you would any other mod package.

Thank you for using SMF!
