Hi,
I had originally planned to release 1.28.0-rc.0 today. Instead we'll be getting a security release!
This release will cover all active branches. The new versions will be 1.23.14, 1.25.6 and 1.26.3. Master and the REL1_27 branches will also get the patches.
There's quite a few fixes going into this release so all installs are strongly advised to upgrade.
The RC for 1.28 will happen on Monday. The reasoning is half for the security release and the other is because I wanted a few more days for the AuthManager code to stew on beta before releasing it.
Thanks!

Bah! Pointed out to me offlist that every place I wrote 28 I meant 27.
So that's 1.27.0-rc.0, etc etc etc.

I realize no time is a good time for security releases, but this will be Friday evening or even Saturday night in some parts of the world.

I'm well aware, and I apologize in advance.
This release has been waiting for far too long though and I've been trying to get it out all week.
I'll try to get everything out in the next few hours.

Thanks Chad. To avoid misunderstandings: it was solely intended as a consideration for the future, not as a complaint of your work.
