Yes, running an online business is not JUST everything about template design, images slimming and fitting, links optimizing SEO-wise, content creation and management, feedback contact forms, e-commerce, shopping carts, communities, socio-nets, twitting, digging, flashing, youtubbing, googling or blah-ing...

It has been on the stairs for quite a while, finally the most recent version of Joomla is available. The Core team announced that the new version was released now. So what does this new release hold? Lots of it has to do with special characters. More specifically we are talking about the PHP "htmlspecialchars" or "htmlentities" commands to convert things like quotes to """, ampersands (&) to "&" and less-than or greater-than () to "". Escaping certain values during output keeps your HTML code valid and, in some cases, can protect you from security attacks.
All of the override files in the "original" templates has been affected (Beez and JA_Purity templates) If you have modified any of the override files in the "templates/beez/html" or "templates/ja_purity/html" folders, these files will most likely be overwritten during the version upgrade. What you should do is to back up these files before installing the upgrade and then restore them afterward. After you restore your modified files, you may want to review the changes the core team made in the core files and add them to your modified files. Version 1.5.11 contains several other low-level security fixes as well as a number of useful bug fixes. Since version 1.5 is now very stable, these fixes are generally more subtle than perhaps some of the fixes in earlier releases. Even though this is not the biggest of the releases it is as usual strongly encouraged to upgrade your sites to the latest versions. If you don't do that, you will most likely soon enough encounter issues with hackers trying to take over your site. Protect your site, upgrade as soon as possible.
