      It has come to our attention that a large portion of our customer base has been unable to download the newest version of VaultWiki, 3.0.12. The reason for this is probably that the last update was in February, so any customers with March - May license expirations may have let their access to new updates lapse.

      However, 3.0.11 and all earlier versions contained a security vulnerability, so it is irresponsible on our part if we don't provide these users any way to patch their installations.

      Therefore, as of today, we have provided patches for VaultWiki versions between 3.0.1 and 3.0.11.

      If your license was active at any time in the past year, you can download one of these patches from the Members Area: https://www.vaultwiki.org/members/

      Details and Policy Changes

      Creating patches for old versions has required both an upgrade to our Members Area and backend software, as well as an update to the License Agreement, which neglected to mention security patches or End-of-Life situations.

      https://www.vaultwiki.org/pages/Info:License-Agreement

      In the past, it was our policy to only update the most recent version in all "live" branches of VaultWiki with security updates. However, since 2.5.x has been End of Life for over 6 months, there is only 1 branch like this. Furthermore, this doesn't protect customers with expired licenses, who may intend on fully upgrading later, but for now just want to be safe.

      Now, we will provide security updates to ALL live, stable versions.

      A live version is a version that has not reached End-of-Life. Any version that is more than 1 year old is considered End-of-Life. A stable version is any non-Patch Level (PL) release that isn't an Alpha, Beta, or Release Candidate.

      As currently, to protect our customers by preventing them from accidentally downloading vulnerable releases, vulnerable versions will still be removed from the download area. However, due to the aforementioned changes, versions released in the past year would be replaced with a PL release.

      This change applies retroactively to all versions released in the past year.
