      topic or have them deleted automatically at a given time.</li>

+ <li><a href="spamx.html">SpamX plugin</a> included. Tom Willet has kindly
+     provided his spam detection plugin, which is now part of the default
+     Geeklog install.<br>
+     The plugin has been modified slightly to store the blacklists in the
+     database. Users of the previous version of the plugin will have to manually
+     add their personal blacklist to the database via the plugin's admin
+     panel.</li>

  <ul>
  <li>Previewing and saving a story submission left the submitted story in the

! <h3>Security-related fixes</h3>
! 
! <p><strong>Note:</strong> All of the following bugs were problems with
! Geeklog's permissions system and fall into the "information leakage" category,
! i.e. under certain circumstances, site content was visible to persons who
! shouldn't be able to see it. None of these bugs were exploitable in the sense
! that they could be used to gain privileges or cause damage to Geeklog or the
! environment it's running in.</p>
! 
! <ul>
! <li>Group Admins were able to list the members of all groups, even if they were
!     not members of those groups.</li>
! <li>Group Admins were given a list of all the groups in the system, even if
!     they were not members of those groups (bug #280).</li>
! <li>Story and Event Admins were always given a list of all the stories / all
!     the events, even when they didn't have read access to them (bug #269).</li>
! <li>It was possible to request comments from stories even if the user didn't
!     have permission to read the story (provided you knew both the story and
!     the comment id).</li>
! </ul>
! 
! <h3>Other bugfixes</h3>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Previewing and saving a story submission left the submitted story in the
      submission queue, but did additionally save it as a new story.</li>

  <li>Old userphotos weren't removed when the new photo had a different file

  <li>Scaling images didn't work when the image exceeded the max. height but

  <li>Keeping an unscaled image wasn't possible when using gdlib to rescale
!     images (bug #197).</li>
! <li>The tarball also includes updated PEAR packages which should address the
