Hello vBSEO customers and friends,

An exploit was recently brought to our attention and has necessitated the release of vBSEO 3.6.0 RC2, as well as patches for our older supported versions to protect your sites from the possible exploit. An update for the vBSEO Sitemap Generator is also available as Sitemap 3.0 PL1.

All customers are urged to upgrade/patch both their vBSEO core software and their vBSEO Sitemap software IMMEDIATELY to avoid any potential security issues with your forum.


Upgrading and Patching
All updates are available in the http://www.vbseo.com/downloads/ area.

Upgrading to 3.6.0 RC2
Follow the normal vBSEO upgrade process, as outlined in the ReadMe file in the docs folder.

Patching Older Versions
All available packages have been patched for future downloads, but it is not necessary to upload the entire package. Just FTP the patch files, overwriting their current location. There is no 'upgrade' script to run, nor will your version number change. Security patches are available for all customers, regardless of license status, on all currently supported product lines (3.3.0 +).

vBSEO 3.5.x Series : http://www.vbseo.com/attachments/f24...bseo_patch.zip


3.6.0 Gold is right around the corner!
3.6.0 RC2 is our last planned RC release. All reported bugs have been fixed in RC2 since the release of RC1. Several new "Like" feature enhancements have also been added. If you missed RC1, please see the RC1 release notes: http://www.vbseo.com/f5/vbseo-3-6-0-...stomers-47483/ for more details about the 3.6 series.

End of life for vBSEO 3.3.x
Reminder: With 3.6 Gold, the vbseo 3.3.x series will officially reach End of Life. As such, we anticipate this will be the last update to the 3.3.x series. It will no longer be maintained, updated, or supported. We encourage everyone to upgrade to at least 3.5.x series if you are still running older packages.



Thank you,

The vBSEO Team
