1. THANKS! to all of you very hard working people - Rey - Robin - Beat - Websmurf - Ot2sen - Jean-Marie - RobS -- and all of the devs who helped - Rey, Andrew, Enno, Matt, Marco, Robin, Hannes and Louis. You guys work like a well oiled machine.
Rey in particular for everyting
this whole first year of Joomla!. Thank you.
2. Little thing: The button on the main page/news page still says 1.0.10
3. Clarify Security Check suggestion On a new install, it does not make sense to warn people for a setting in a file Joomla! is going to provide. (
I understand why.) But, people
are going to be confused. Further, when you click the link to the
Checklist, it is not clear what linking there has to do with the emulate register_globals setting. I suggest updating the
Checklist with this explanation at the
top (also added in Du Vien's recommendation on htaccess, I agree.):
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Installation Message #1: Joomla! RG_EMULATION setting is `ON` instead of `OFF` in file globals.php - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - After the installation, we recommend you edit the
globals.php file located in the root directory of your website for increased security.
Locate this parameter (as pictured next):
define( 'RG_EMULATION', 1 );
Change the
1 (as pictured above) to
0 (as pictured below):
define( 'RG_EMULATION', 0 );
Warning: Some extensions
will not work with this variable off. In testing, we identified several and notified third party developers. Some fixes are already available. If you find an extension that does not work, report it. Review and report such extensions, and find upgrades, here: <
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,86525.0.html >. Questions about this setting should also be asked in that thread.
You can leave the globals.php file without changes knowing you are choosing a diminished safety level.

Those using an older htaccess file are strongly encouraged to add this to their file. See <
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg388584 > for more information or to ask .htaccess related questions.
