Whats New ... in v1.2.7

v1.2.7 is a security bugfix release. The changes included in this release are largely intended to provide more solid protection against a potential SQL injection attack or other attempted exploits.

No new features have been added in 1.2.7.

Five Bugfixes included:
- sanitization of input data across many files, to block hacking attempts
- added new /admin/includes/.htaccess file to prevent mis-use of files in subfolders
- rounding errors in tax calculations have been repaired
- music product-type had syntax error on call to extra_main_template_vars
- changed processing of SSL links in zen_redirect function to use $request_type as indicator

For a list of changed files, see docs/changelog-v1-2-7.html


Stay tuned for the upcoming v1.3.0 due shortly!
