Thank you for good work. Is there a potential security issue for the modules?

None that we know of (and specifically not the direct access hole)

We will be releasing a full set of release candidate files in the next week or two with updated modules.

So just to be sure: if I manually add
defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' );
in administrator/components/com_events/admin.events.php I should be OK?

I've got three sites with the component and I'd rather just add this line than going through the hassle of uninstalling and installing again, especially because it seems I risk losing my events data while upgrading?

I manually made the fix and it worked.  Before that, I tried uninstalling 1.3 and installing 1.3 beta2a, but it caused my Attend Events component to stop working.

I'd not heard of "Attend Events" before - thanks for bringing it to our attention.

I'm still on Events 1.2 - is there any way to get up to this version without uninstalling, reinstalling, and therefore losing all one's data?  If not, what is the best way for me to migrate my data over?

Take a look at

http://forge.joomla.org/sf/projects/jevents

It explaions how to upgrade without lossing your existing data.  Remember to use the beta2 and follow the instructions carefully.

I just downloaded 1.3b from 1.1. I am trying to get the frontend publishing to work. I have installed and it still does not allow adding of events from the frontend by administrators and/or publishers. Do you have any ideas?

Where do I find this upgrade? All the URLs in this thread are broken and when I go to http://forge.joomla.org/ and try to look at projects I get this:

JoomlaCode Home »
Configuration error: Host name (forge.joomla.org) differs from system configuration (joomlacode.org)

You should use JEvents 1.4.2 - see http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/jevents

if the answer is no, then why the big hurry to update?
