Howdy Maharans!

I'm pleased to announce the arrival of Mahara 1.7.3 minor version release:

This release fixes a major security bug, and a number of non-security bugs in the system, perhaps the highlight of which is a compatibility fix for a recent change in YouTube's embedded video syntax. To see a list of bugs fixed:

For users of older versions of Mahara there have also been minor version releases for the 1.6 and 1.5 versions.

 - Mahara 1.6 is now at version 1.6.7

 - Mahara 1.5 is now at version 1.5.12

For all users of 1.5, 1.6, and 1.7, upgrading to the latest minor release is strongly recommended.

Thank you to all that helped by reporting bugs, submitting fixes, and testing the changes, including Ruslan Kabalin, Tom, John Kelsh, Geoffrey Rowland, Nitish Bezzala, Mark Webster, Hugh Davenport, Howard Miller, and Takahiro Sumiya.
