As per the Drupal 5.3 announcement, we've released as tag 2007-10-24s. The update contains security patches and minor bug fixes to the Drupal core. There are no changes to or additions of modules since the previous tag.

This release does not have any database updates, but it's always a good idea to backup your site and then run the update.php script, just in case you missed some the last time around. It's all in our instructions in maintaining your version of Drupal 5 on your VPS.

Note that if you see a Google Analytics error at Administer (top menu) » logs » Status report, i.e. "Google Analytics module has not been configured yet. Please configure its settings from the Google Analytics settings page.", you can fix this by turning off the Google Analytics module (if you don't use it) or by clicking Administer (top menu) » Site configuration » Google Analytics. See our documentation on the Google Analytics module for help in configuring it for your site.
