Since about 3a.m. this morning, all Bryght Light Drupal 5 sites are running Drupal 5.5.

Today we're releasing a new tag for the Bryght Basic profile. The new tag is 2007-12-06s. It includes a fix for a security advisory and bug fixes that came with Drupal 5.4 and the critical bug fix that comes with Drupal 5.5. As we have with previous releases on the Drupal 5 platform, we've included the Syslog/Watchdog hook patch and will update the patch shortly to the issue on Drupal.org. To update your server's installation, follow our instructions on maintaining tagged releases.

Some notes about this new tag:

• There are no database updates between 5.3 and 5.5. It's still a good idea to backup your database and run update.php in case there were updates you missed along the way.
• This is a bug fix and security patch release only. There are no new features, though we recommend users upgrade as soon as possible.
• The security release did not affect those running only Drupal core modules, but includes a fix preventing contributed modules from injecting SQL queries.
• I also snuck in a minor bug fix for the Akismet module.
• We have not yet deployed this on our hosted service. We will do that shortly.

The error message for Google Analytics noted in the release notes for our previous tag still persists.
