The second release candidate for the Forum plugin ver2.6 has just been released. In the past month, there have been 700 downloads and a few issues have surfaced. The new release includes a text file summarizing the changes.

Mark Evans will be releasing a new version of his Captcha Plugin and this release includes his changes for the forum to be able to support using Captcha verification for all users or just anonymous users. This site is now running the RC2 version, so please report any issues. If this release does not not reveal any major issues, then I will be able to release a final version in a few weeks.

I am pleased to announce the release of CAPTCHA v2.0 Plugin for Geeklog. CAPTCHA 2.0 provides an additional level of defense against spam bots. This new release builds upon the original gl-captcha hack and now provides easier installation and easier integration with Geeklog and other plugins. I

Beginning with CAPTCHA v2.0 there has been a joint effort with the Geeklog development team to add support for using this plugin with several core Geeklog features. Starting with Geeklog v1.4.1, if the CAPTCHA v2.0 plugin is installed, you can now enable CAPTCHA support for the following Geeklog functions:

• New user registration
• Post comment
• Email user
• Email story
• Story submission

This integration does not require any code modifications to the Geeklog distribution, support is there out of the box.

I am pleased to announce the initial test release of version 2.6 is now available for download. A number of key changes were made over the past few weeks since I posted that work had been underway. A number of volunteers assisted with testing and feedback refer to full story for more details.

Review the readme.html - for update and install directions. You need to be running a GL 1.4 or 1.4.1 site.
