This patch fixes several issues in the v2.3.7 release and v2.3.7 patch #1, patch#2, and patch#3.  It also provides several tweaks and even some new features, though the main focus is providing several regression fixes.  It should be noted that the new optional 'Upgrade permissions' upgrade scripts will attempt to lock down the site by fixing file and folder permissions (except for cgi-bin) which means also turning off the 'execute' permission.   It must be noted that this patch (like the previous patches to v2.3.7) will break any custom text module view templates using in-place editing.  Unlike previous patches, this patch file also includes all the 'installation' files in the event you secured your site by deleting or renaming the /install folder. Patch #4 to v2.3.7 is found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/exponentcms/files/exponent-2.3.7-patch-4.zip/download​

After a failed attempt to get something under the tree for Christmas, we now release v2.3.7 specifically to address the fatal flaws within the pulled v2.3.6 release.  These include:

We've pulled the v2.3.6 release package and recommend you NOT install it!  Due to the holidays, v2.3.7 will not be released until after January 1st.  The new security fix unexpectedly removes all styling from edited WYSIWYG text when saved...which is basically how the WYSIWYG editor does most of its magic. Additionally, activating the new enhanced password hashing (also in v2.3.5) will corrupt passwords and prevent logging on after the password is updated (a database structure issue)  We already have fixes for these issues and will release a version 2.3.7 with the fixes and possibly another ajax paging fix.  We are sorry for this inconvenience.

This patch fixes a number of issues in the v2.3.5 and v2.3.5patch1 releases. The main fix is for a regression issue in v2.3.5 & v2.3.5patch1 which prevented ecommerce checkout. Patch #2 to v2.3.5 is found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/exponentcms/files/exponent-2.3.5-patch-2.zip/download
