[IDA] Core and Module updates on 2/20, Fwd: [Security-news] Critical Release - PSA-2019-02-19

  • Posted on: 19 February 2019

Hi All,

If you’re on D8, core and probably a few modules will be updated tomorrow.  If
you’re on D7, most likely several modules will be updated.  Full Security
Announcement is below (but it really doesn’t say much, not that it should for
those self-same security implications).

As a FYI:  Wednesdays are generally the day of the week Drupal updates are
released.  The 3rd Wednesday of a month is usually when the majority of
Drupal security updates occur.

Depending upon the complexity of the security update(s) being released, if
you’re close to your update time, and/or your site’s needed updates are not
difficult, I’ll most likely do full site updates as well.  (No one really
likes doing QA, so no point if making you do it twice.)

I’ll send out more information after applying all patches and updates
tomorrow.  

Best Regards,

Michael
