Dear Apache Roller Community,

We are pleased to announce that Apache Roller 6.1.4 is now available for =
download. This release includes several updates and improvements to =
enhance the security, stability, and functionality of your Roller =
installations.

Download the latest release from:
https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/roller/roller-6.1/v6.1.4

Key Changes in Apache Roller 6.1.4:

1. Safer Defaults:
- HTML content sanitization: Roller now sanitizes all HTML content by =
default to prevent malicious content. This is controlled by the =
"weblogAdminsUntrusted=3Dtrue" property in your roller-custom.properties =
file.
- Custom themes and file uploads are disabled by default. You can enable =
these features via the Server Admin page if you trust your users, as =
they can pose security risks.
- Improved CSRF and XSS protection using user-specific and one-time-use =
salts.

2. Dependency Updates:
- Over 20 mostly minor dependency updates, including updates to Spring, =
Eclipse-Link JPA, Log4j, Lucene, and more.

3. Bug Fixes:
- Fixed several bugs that impacted category creation, updating, and =
deletion.

We encourage all users to upgrade to this latest version to benefit from =
these improvements. As always, we appreciate your feedback and =
contributions to the Apache Roller project.

Thank you for your continued support.

Best regards,
The Apache Roller Team
