Drupal 6.15 and 5.21 released, fixing security issues
More information can be found -> HERE
Drupal 6.15 and 5.21, maintenance releases fixing problems reported using the bug tracking system, as well as critical security vulnerabilities, are now available for download. Both releases fix some other smaller issues as well.
Upgrading your existing Drupal 5 and 6 sites is strongly recommended. There are no new features in these releases.
Important update notes
These releases did not change the (default.)settings.php and robots.txt files, so you can keep your existing files intact, if you have modifications in them.
The .htaccess file was changed in Drupal 6.15, adding settings to let all PHP scripts set their own caching headers without those being overridden by the server. See http://drupal.org/node/550488 for more information.
