Thanks for reminding me. I downloaded it last night and had forgot to install the upgrade!

How is Joomla doing by way of security? I've noticed one person disabling it entirely as they've had a recent incident of index file insertions into the server on every account, thus replacing the websites with a hacked graffiti.

The new update looks like they addressed any area of weakness. I had a site that got hit and know of others.....friggin' script kiddies! It's NOT in Fantastico yet though so if you run it, make sure you get the update from Joomla. Joomla rocks as a CMS and gets wonderful SE results but security was becoming a problem. I'll say this though, they seem to address any concerns IMMEDIATELY and not months from the attack.

Thanks for the pointers! Urgh script kiddies. Will do the Joomla updates for Fantastico script installs, thanks for the helpful reminder. It's great knowing they are quick on the response to security loopholes.
