CB 1.7.1 Security Release
.
First of all there are 2 heros that I would like to thank a lot for their work and contribution to this release and its updated documentation: Our krileon (Kyle) and nant (Nick):
Kyle has prepared most fixes for known bugs of CB 1.7 and Nick the documentation, while I have been working on next CB 2.0 and on next CBSubs 1.3.0 and Kyle on next GroupJive 2.5.
We also had the CB Testteam giving some good feedbacks, while the whole CB Team has also been testing and fixing last CB bugs and thus we hope that what should normally be the last CB 1.x release before the 2.0 one will be a rock-solid smooth release.
Our thanks also go to the two persons having contributed finding and privately cooperated reporting the two security issues.
