Release of Mambo 4.6.4

Team Mambo has released 4.6.4, codename "Sunrise", as a maintenance and security release. Mambo 4.6.4 fixes some serious security vulnerabilities affecting all earlier versions of 4.6. It is recommended that all 4.6+ users update to 4.6.4 as soon as possible. Instructions for upgrading are included in the release, which you can download from the Mambo Code Forge here.
Please see the Security Forum for details of these security issues.

This release also fixes some bugs found in 4.6.3 and contains performance enhancements, along with enhancements to the Language Manager and a number of core extensions.

Known Issues:

There is an outstanding issue with base href. To temporarily work around this problem, should your site experience problems with it, please edit your template's index.php code like this:

Find this code within the

<head></head> tags
<?php mosShowHead(); ?>

Replace it with this:

<?php mosShowHead('','base'); ?> 

This will prevent base href from being generated by Mambo. You may need to then manually enter a base href tag to enable correct linking to relative links within your site when you have SEF enabled. If you experience any problems with this workaround please seek help on the forums.

This issue is being worked on by the Team and a fix will be available soon. Due to the severity of the security vulnerabilities that were identified Mambo 4.6.4 had to be released urgently and could not be delayed while the base href bug was fixed.
