Two moderate-level security issues were fixed in this release:
- Default filtering for content
- Filtering for Web Link descriptions
There are 67 Bug fixes
There are no Additions
As always thanks to everyone who submitted bugs (and fixes) and to the Joomla Bug Squad for testing and approving the fixes.
