vBulletin Project Tools 1.0.3 Released

vBulletin Project Tools 1.0.3 is a primarily security update. It fixes the CSRF issue that vBulletin 3.6.10 was released to handle.

Additionally, it contains a small number of bug fixes since the release of 1.0.2.

We recommend that all Project Tools users upgrade as soon as possible.

Some of the bugs fixed include:

• 24768 - Editing an issue updates project last activity time
• 24842 - Resorting a grouped search returns to the first page of the search (all groups)
• 24946 - Submit user sorts in wrong direction by default

See a full list of bugs fixed between Project Tools 1.0.2 and 1.0.3

Application of Security Changes to Templates

The upgrade script for vBulletin 3.6.10/3.7.0 RC4 automatically applied changes to your customized templates to help fix the security issue without errors. This includes any customized Project Tools templates.

The other template changes in this release will not be applied automatically! You should always double check any customized Project Tools templates to ensure that the appropriate changes have been made.

Upgrading/Installing Project Tools

Upgrades and new installations of the Project Tools follow the same process: upload the files and import the XML. After this, you will see a message that your upgrade or install was successful. For full instructions on how to upgrade or install, please see this manual entry.
