[ckan-announce] CKAN patch releases 2.5.8, 2.6.5 and 2.7.3 now available

[Adrià Mercader]

Hi all,

We are happy to announce that the new patch releases for 2.5.x, 2.6.x and
2.7.x are now available to download and install.

These patch releases fix important bugs and security issues, so users
should upgrade
as soon as possible to the latest patch release for the CKAN version they
are using.

Patch release upgrades are very straight-forward and do not contain any
backwards incompatible changes or involve any change in the requirements,
database or Solr schema.

However, the 2.7.3 release fixes issues that might require extra steps from
maintainers. Please refer to the CHANGELOG file to see if you might be
affected:

In case of doubt don't hesitate to ask for support in the mailing list or
the IRC channel.


As stated in the release policy [1], the latest patch release is the only
one officially supported.

For details on how to upgrade, see the following links depending on your
install method:

* Package upgrade:

* Source upgrade:

If you find any problem, let us know in the mailing list or the IRC channel.

Thanks,

Adrià
