Reflections from Bologna: CKAN and the Power of Community Data at csv,conf,v9
CKAN community members share insights from csv,conf,v9 in Bologna — exploring open data, community impact, and the power of digital public infrastructure.
We are happy to announce that the new patch releases for CKAN 2.9.x and 2.8.x are now available to download and install. Note that following our revised release policy, this will be the last patch release on the 2.8.x line.
These patch releases are particularly important to apply as they address a vulnerability in user registration (CVE-2022-43685), so users should upgrade as soon as possible to the latest patch release for the CKAN version they are using.
Patch release upgrades are very straight-forward and do not contain any backwards incompatible changes or involve any change in the database or Solr schema.
