Hi everyone, on Monday a new release was made available – you can use the Automatic Updater to download phpList 3.5.5 or update manually downloading the latest version on Sourceforge.

Release notifications are posted directly on your installation dashboards with a link to the release notes.

For those of you who follow release updates on the forum, you might already gotten an idea about the main changes. phpList it’s getting lots of attention on security issues lately and it’s great to see community contributors share their findings and provide their fixes to be made available as soon as possible.

Again, these fixes mitigate the risk of abuse from authenticated users but, we recommend that you bring your installation up to date to include these fixes.

You can read the full list of changes in the release notes.
