Get release 5.2-1 here.

From the upgrade notes included in the release:

This upgrade is in response to the CCK security announcement.

While this security upgrade only affects a specific use of CCK that is not present in the DrupalEd configuration, anyone running DrupalEd is strongly advised to upgrade. A healthy dose of paranoia regarding security concerns can save you hours of time/emotional distress.

Code updates:

With the exception of CCK, none of these updates are related to security issues, but they bring the codebase up to date.

With the Views Bonus Pack, we upgraded to the dev version released August 11th to include the ability to export views in either CSV or DOC format.

To upgrade an existing 5.2 install, or to install a new site using DrupalEd, you can download the full codebase here.

upgrading from DrupalEd 5.1.2

A couple questions:

  1. the upgrade_notes.txt file talks about a two-step process: first the contributed modules and then the Drupal core. There is no further mention of the second step (the Drupal core). Is the intention that the Drupal core be updated after all the remaining instructions in upgrade_notes.txt are executed?

  2. Should I get the Drupal 5.2 core files from the Drupal 5.2 download? Or are the files in the DrupalEd distribution the same? Or better?

Thanks,

Rich

All the files you need

The download has all the files you need.

I recommend doing the core upgrade first, and then the contrib modules.

RE: "Or are the files in the DrupalEd distribution the same? Or better?" -- How could anyone do Drupal better? :)

All kidding aside, one of the main tenets behind the project is to never fork code, and to always use components that are freely available on d.o. This allows people to add modules to the core install, and know that their upgrade path will be the same as if they were using a Drupal site built up from scratch.

Cheers,

Bill
