The Joomla Project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Joomla 1.5.12 [Wojmamni Ama Woi]. This release contains a number of bug fixes and three moderate-level security fixes. It has been less than a month since Joomla 1.5.11 was released on June 3, 2009.
This release marks an important milestone for the Joomla Project due to the upgrade of the PEAR library to the new BSD licensed version, which brings the codebase into full compliance with the GPL. In addition, this release contains an important upgrade to TinyMCE v 3.2.4.1.
The Production Working Group's goal is to continue to provide regular, frequent updates to the Joomla community.

The new released Joomla 1.5.11 was released on 03 June 2009, and contains 26 fixes, most security related issues.
There are several important fixes, just to mention:
Joomla! is prone to multiple cross-site scripting and HTML-injection vulnerabilities because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. These issues affect the 'com_user' component, the 'JA_Purity' template, and the administrative panel in the 'Site client' subproject of the application.
An attacker can exploit these issues to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Versions prior to Joomla!1.5.11 are vulnerable.
There are other fixes regarding several RSS feeds related issues in 1.5.10 and prior.
Users are strongly encouraged to update their websites to the latest release following these instructions:

Based on the numbers available on the still public jobs we could create a realistic picture of the sofware creation market. We can safely presume that this numbers - at a smaller scale - reflect the trends in the market. Also we can safely estimate the number of successful Freelancers (at least in percentage). The numbers are very interesting - at least because of the clear trends that are shown and also because it clearly raises a flag for both buyer and freelancer. Most freelancers do not even get to their first job. They create accounts, bid on jobs, but never land one successful job. Rent-a-coder has in Marc 2009 approx 35.000 coders that won at least one job won, and has the whopping number of 244667 registered coders!!! wow.. so at less then 15% (!!!) get to win a job!
Also We can clearly see that most successuful Freelancers land under 10 jobs per year and more then 80% of this "successfull" freelancers make less then 1000$ per year. Only as little as 0.5 - 1% of the winning Freelancers make more then 5000$ per year! I know we do not have the private jobs and all the bonuses one freelancer makes in this table. but even if we suppose them at double of the visible income this is not an income that can be sufficient for most of them. And do have in mind that 85 % of freelancers DO NOT EVEN GET a winning bid.

Did you notice the amount of spam comments on PLIGG based posts?
It's amazing, i have 100ths per day, and i kept deleting them. I thought - why not cutting deeper and removing their backlink feature. It's very easy. you just need to open in a notepad the following file from your template: comment_show.tpl
search for "{$comment_content}" and replace it with "{$comment_content|strip_tags}
(at least 2 occurences)
That's all folks
