Known Issues with glFusion v1.2.2 (and fixes)

It never fails, once you make a release, a few bugs pop up. In the interim time before the next release rolls out, you can download the individual source files that contain the fixes.

Generally, patches should not require template changes either, but occasionally there are exceptions. If a template change is required, it will be noted in the specific patch documentation. The Template Change page will also be updated to reflect the change.

Our goal is to ensure you have the best CMS out there and that any issues that are identified are resolved and available as soon as possible.

Patch Level Information

Each time a set of fixes are published, we re-create the distribution archives and include a Patch Level component in the version number. This way, you can be sure that you are downloading the latest, most up to date version of glFusion, with all released patches and updates. We also provide a glfusion-1.2.2.pl#-diff.zip archive that contains all the patch level files.

To check your current patch level, go into the Command & Control screen, the current glFusion version number (and patch level) will be displayed at the top of the page. *

Applying Patches

There are two methods to apply the patches. You can download each updated source file from this page, or you can grab the latest incremental release and re-apply it to your site. Since the distribution archives are refreshed with each set of patches, both the full and incremental releases will contain all the current patches. Patch level updates do not require that you run the automated installer / updater since they will never contain database updates.
