WBCE CMS 1.3.0

The new version of WBCE CMS brings again a lot of improvements like a completely reworked backend theme, a much more reliable session management and new output filter functions. Use this package for new installations and updating existing ones. For more details see release notes in the WBCE CMS forum.

WBCE (1.2.0)

The version 1.2 is a feature release and contains mainly new and updated modules and templates but fixes some bugs and minor security flaws too. Again many, many thanks to all people, who have contributed to this release. For more information about the changes and updates, visit our forum.

WBCE (1.1.11)

This is a bugfix and security release. It fixes the security flaws reported by https://www.jpcert.or.jp and some other issues detected during some internal audits. It is highly recommended to upgrade to this version as soon as possible.

WBCE (1.1.10)

This is the second security release related to the 3rd party package PHP Mailer. Unfortunatelly the first security patch provided by the PHP Mailer team did not solve the security flaw entirely.

WBCE (1.1.9)

This is a security release related to the 3rd party package PHP Mailer. It fixes a critical bug found in the external PHP Mailer package, which is used by WBCE and a lot of other Open Source projects. As the bug was classified critical by the PHP Mailer team, it is highly recommended to upgrade your WBCE installation as soon as possible to close this security flaw.

WBCE (1.1.8)

This is a security and bugfix release. It fixes two potential security issues related to the user frontend registration. It is highly recommended to upgrade your site in case you have frontend registration enabled on your WBCE site.

WBCE (1.1.6)

This release contains only the patch and some minor changes. So if you are running an already patched version of WBCE 1.1.3 , there is no reason to upgrade to this release.

Huh, a jump from 1.1.3 to 1.1.6 , the reason is simple. A few minutes after i published 1.1.4 here on Github i was mailed about the security issue. So i decided not to publish anything in the forum or on the page. And i imediatly started working on the patch.

The first version of the patch already sets the version to 1.1.5 , but that was removed in later versions. Unfortunately now some people who used the early version got a 1.1.5 in their version, so to avoid conflicts we are going to 1.1.6 here.

WBCE (1.1.4)

• No Upgrade needed for WBCE 1.1.3 Versions!

This is just a bugfix release for pepole who plan to upgrade from a Websitebaker 2.8.1 Version! In all other cases it behaves exactly like a 1.1.3 Version. Users of older WBCE versions should upgrade anyway as 1.1.3 was a security release.

WBCE (1.1.3)

Websitebaker CE made it to the next step (Version 1.1.3), the first release that not just a bugfix to WB classic. The original idea was to add even more new features to this release, but we recently discovered some security issues and decided to release early instead of waiting for more features to come. Still Websitebaker CE 1.1.3 got a nice bundle of new features.

This is a list of all important changes:

1. Security
   A nice bunch of security patches not entirely lethal stuff but some could have become ugly.
2. Filename != Menutitle
   The filename now may be different form the menu title. There simply is an extra field in the page settings.
3. Maintainance Mode
   WBCE now is equiped whith a Maintainance mode. To control it take a look into the admin tools section of the backend, there is a Maintainance mode tool.
   Its even possible to provide a custom Maintainance Mode Page for your Template, look into /templates/simple_responsive/systemplates/maintainance.tpl.php for an example.
   In future releases there may be other systemtemplates in the systemplates folder that can be overridden.
4. Suppress default outputfilter
   Default outputfilter may be suppressed by defining a constant:
   define ("WB_SUPPRESS_OLD_OPF", true);
   In the config.php for example. Later tis will get a switch in the
   admintool.
5. Default Templates
   Fixed default templates for intranet use.
6. Opf Dashboard
   Added Hooks for OPF Dashboard to the Core.
7. Sessions
   Sessions have a strict livetime checking now , an more important livetime can be set by setting the the livetime in "Secure Form Switcher" admin tool. Later this will get its own setting , but for now this gives at least the option to set session Livetime from the backend.
8. Autoloader
   We added an Autoloader for easy loading of system classes. In addition the autoloader has the option to simply register our own classes in "include.php" of a Module , that way you create a Library class that is only loaded when needed. (more features and options are planned)

9. Secureform
   Finally , we removed single tab , mode as it did not provide any advantages, but still produced confusion. Secure form class got some reviews and hopefully those nasty Security warnings now only will warn you if there is a reason to warn.
10. Settings
    We now got a simple class to manage global settings in the core and for modules. 3a92964
11. Lots of small bugfixes where we asked ourself why no one fixed this in the last 6 years.
12. Problems whith MSQL scrict mode pattched whith hotfix. We are not entirely happy whith this solution and willl edit the SQL statements in the next release . But editing the statements in the core does not help whith older modules, so this fix will stay in even if the core statements are edited.
13. Additional PHP7 checking done, hopefullly there are no more issues.
14. Started documenting new core features whith Doxygen, results are under http://docs.wbce.org.
15. New version of miniform added to core.

Thanks to all contributors and testers for all the good work!!

WBCE (1.1.2)

This is another Bugfix only release.

Again there have been some installer/upgrade errors that may prevent an installation/upgrade under certain circumstances. In addition some more security fixes have been applied.
