Patch #2 Released for V2.4.0

Friday, November 4, 2016 Tags: patch, release, bugs

This patch fixes several issues in the v2.4.0 and v2.4.0patch1 releases and continues to address some security vulnerabilities found in all previous versions of Exponent CMS v2.x. It also adds new optional Page Redirection support. This can be activated by updating the 'Configure Website', Error Messages tab and turning on 'Handle Page Not Found Redirection?'. Page Redirection is then found under the Manage All Pages views. We strongly encourage all Exponent installations be upgraded to v2.4.0 with this patch as soon as practical! Patch #1 to v2.4.0 is found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/exponentcms/files/exponent-2.4.0-patch-2.zip/download
