StatusNet 1.0.0 Bug-squashing party Saturday 27 Aug 2011

 Quick note for our friends: we'll be making a 1.0.0rc1 release on Friday, August 26, 2011. So we though it'd be a good idea to put that new version to the test with a bug-squashing party on Saturday August 27. (A bug-squashing party is a get-together to fix as many bugs as possible before a major release.) The core development team will be in our IRC channel (#statusnet) from 09:00-17:00 EDT (13:00-21:00 UTC).

Security alert for all versions of StatusNet

Yvan Boily of the Mozilla Security team alerted us to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack on versions of StatusNet from 0.8.x up. We have released new versions of the stable code (0.9.x branch) and upcoming 1.0 release (1.0.x branch). All StatusNet users are encouraged to upgrade to either version 0.9.9 or 1.0.0beta2 as soon as possible.
