Changes: A bug in the "Previous" button in 0.95 has been fixed.


Changes: This release adds a few features, such as HTML links and auto-creation of file directories, but more importantly, it fixes a world-readable file-browsing vulnerability in previous versions. All users should immediately upgrade to fix this vulnerability.


Changes: New additions include help files and the ability for users and the admin to delete articles. A bug in modify.cgi was fixed. A demo/discussion board was set up at http://www.omar.org/opensource/vaxbb/demo.html
