Although this release contains 12 security fixes, as they are of a low level nature, this release is being characterized as a Stabiility/General release. If you are running 1.0.8, you are advised to upgrade to 1.0.9 as it fixes several annoying non-critical errors in 1.0.8

We recommend that you upgrade to this version. If you are running 1.0.6 you MUST upgrade to 1.0.7

To ensure the integrity of the files you are downloading you are advised only to download from the 'Official Source' on the Official Joomla! Forge. As a extra security measure we now make public the MD5 checksum of the respective package files to allow people to do integrity checking.

Although none of these Security Threats are seen as critical, we recommend people to upgrade to this version.
If you are using SEF you are advised to upgrade to this version as it fixes a problem with SEF handling in 1.0.5

At the moment 1.0.6 has been packaged as Beta and distributed to official Joomla! Support groups for Testing prior to its release on Sunday.
