Woensdag zijn er nieuwe maintenance releases van Drupal uitgebracht, te weten versies 6.16 en 5.22. Drupal is een in php geschreven ontwikkelpakket waarmee gebruikers content kunnen beheren, organiseren en uitgeven. Het bevat veel features die terug zijn te vinden in bijvoorbeeld contentmanagementsystemen, weblogs en fora. Een uitgebreide beschrijving van alle mogelijkheden is op deze pagina te vinden. In deze release zijn geen nieuwe mogelijkheden toegevoegd: deze worden bewaard voor versie 7.0. Wel zijn er enkele bugfixes doorgevoerd en is een beveiligingslek gedicht. Meer informatie hierover is in de release notes te vinden:

Security vulnerabilities
Drupal 5.22 and 6.16 were released in response to the discovery of security vulnerabilities. Details can be found in the official security advisory:To fix the security problem, you can either (1) upgrade Drupal or (2) patch Drupal.
We strongly recommend you do a full upgrade (which is also detailed in the security announcement) as the patches do not contain the additional bug fixes that went into the releases. Applying the patches will leave your site in an unversioned state and confuse the update status module, which will keep reminding you to upgrade to 6.16 or 5.22. Please read the announcement for details on the patch.
If you still prefer to patch Drupal, apply the http://drupal.org/files/sa-core-2010-001/SA-CORE-2010-001-6.15.patch file to your Drupal 6.15 codebase or http://drupal.org/files/sa-core-2010-001/SA-CORE-2010-001-5.21.patch to your Drupal 5.21 codebase.

. En dat terwijl, kritiek op PHP terzijde, je hele mooie PHP code kunt maken, bijvoorbeeld met behulp van Zend Framework.
