Security Issue
There was a small security issue with the release that has now been resolved. Sorry about that, the release node is now published. Enjoy!
CAPTCHA Pack
Nice.
Now that there is an official stable release of the CAPTCHA module with the new CAPTCHA API, I also released version 5.x-1.0 of CAPTCHA Pack.
Captcha for 6.x.x?
6.0 beta 3 is out already. Is there a plan to release the Captcha module for Drupal 6.x.x?
Captcha 6.x-1.x
We're working on the port for Drupal 6.
Most of the work is already done, the module is already usable,
but we didn't make a dev snapshot release nor stable release yet.
If your' familiar with using modules from CVS, you can already try it (cvs HEAD).
kudos to captcha developers
I'm not a developer but an interested Drupal user and fan for a couple of years now. I just wanted to congratulate you guys on really turning this module around.
You pulled it through a rough spot to build it into a really useful and well-designed module that many, many of us use. Thanks very much for your efforts.
