Drupal 6.11 and 5.17 released, fixing security issues
More information can be found -> HERE
Drupal 6.11 and 5.17, maintenance releases fixing problems reported using the bug tracking system, as well as a critical security vulnerability, are now available for download. Drupal 6.11 also fixes performance issues with the menu cache and update status cache among other smaller issues.
Upgrading your existing Drupal 5 and 6 sites is strongly recommended. There are no new features in these releases.
Important update notes
It is important to run update.php. These releases did not change the .htaccess, robots.txt and (default.)settings.php files, so you can keep your existing files intact, if you have modifications in them.
