[announce] Horde 3.1.6 (final)

[Jan Schneider]

The Horde Team is pleased to announce the final release of the Horde
Application Framework version 3.1.6.

This is a bugfix release that also improves XSS (cross site scripting)
filters, used for example in HTML message viewers, and fixes privilege
escalations in the Horde API. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this
version.

Many thanks to Secunia for reporting an XSS vulnerability (CVE-2007-6018) and
working with us to test the fixes.

The Horde Application Framework is a modular, general-purpose web application
framework written in PHP. It provides an extensive array of libraries that are
targeted at the common problems and tasks involved in developing modern web
applications.

Major changes compared to Horde 3.1.5 are:
    * Fixed privilege escalation in the Horde API.
    * Improved XSS filtering.
    * Fixed locked portal blocks.
    * Further improved webroot detection.
    * Updated Japanese translation.
