Apache Roller 5.0.3 available & upgrade recommended for all Roller sites

New release: Apache Roller 5.0.3 is now available on Apache mirrors
world-wide and you can find it here:

   http://roller.apache.org/downloads/downloads.html

This release fixes a security vulnerability in Roller, listed below:
   CVE-2014-0030 Apache Roller XML-RPC susceptible to XML Entended Entity
attacks

Because of the above security vulnerability, we recommend that all sites
running
Apache Roller upgrade to this new release as soon as possible.

Thanks,
The Apache Roller team

(Hmm...just noticed we have a lady boxer using Roller: 
http://www.kaliesha.com/konakart/.)

Access requested off-line.  JSPWiki doesn't have a blog but shares its 
Twitter account password on the JSPWiki private list so any PMC member 
who wants to tweet (presently just me) can do so.

For simplicity, I think continuing with rollerweblogger.org as the team 
blog is fine, so long as any PMC member (at least) requesting an account 
can have one.  Otherwise, we can rename "Project Blog" to "Dave's 
[Roller] Blog" on the Roller home page, giving you complete ownership of 
it and you can update or not update it to your heart's content, and 
potentially create a separate "Roller Blog" tied to Apache blogs for any 
committer or PMC member to write to.

Regards,
Glen

Thanks for those suggestions, Glen. For now, I'd prefer to keep on hosting
the project blog at rollerweblogger.org and because blogs.apache.org does
not allow custom themes and because, sadly, I'm not sure the infrastructure
team will stick with Roller.

I would be happy to make any Roller contributor an editor or admin of the
Roller blog (and of the apache_roller Twitter account). Let me know
off-list if you want me to set you up with an account and/or give you the
password for the Twitter account.

- Dave

Blog updates needed... (Was Re: Apache Roller 5.0.3 available & upgrade recommended for all Roller sites)

Hi Dave, thanks for taking care of the below.  Note for your Roller 
blog, the left side menu has "Latest docs/documentation" listed twice 
and perhaps it would be good to add a link to Roller's twitter feed.  
Also, in the blog footer, it would be nice to remove the dead links and 
update the copyright year.  Finally, you may wish to take out the 
"Planet" and "About" tabs until they are working again--the formatting 
is missing on those pages (there's not much information on them anyway 
that we don't have elsewhere).

Whether or not you update your blog would not normally be anyone's 
business, but it's listed on the Roller home page as the official 
project blog so periodic pestering is fair game IMO.  :)  But if you're 
really running out of time to maintain the blog, the project can also 
switch to a blogs.apache.org account so anyone on the team can take care 
of its maintenance.

Regards,
Glen
