-The 2.14.3 release fixes a regression in the ability to sort
-buglists on more than one field, which was caused by the 2.14.2
-security update. Also fixed in this release is a possible
-misuse of a system() call in contrib/bug_email.pl (which is
-not supported at this time, but we felt it would be useful to
-fix as long as we knew about it). Please see the upgrade
-procedure below for details on how to upgrade to 2.14.3.

-Regarding security issues, please note that the release of 2.16

+(simultaneous with 2.14.4) incorporates various rearchitectures
that make failure-to-validate and failure-to-filter errors
harder to insert and easier to spot. In particular this means
there may be holes in the 2.14 line that have not been

-probably won't be fixed in 2.14 point releases, unless they are

*** ABOUT THIS VERSION ***
- The 2.16 line will possibly be the last stable release to support
the shadow database. The replacement (using MySQL's built in
- replication) is not present in 2.14.2 or 2.16, but we expect

that very few sites use this feature, so we are not planning a
transition period. If this would cause a
problem for you, please comment on the below bug.
- Bug counts (on reports.cgi) can be very slow if you have to
count a lot of bugs. In this case the connection can time

timeout on your web server might help this situation.

+- When a new product is added to an installation with 47 groups or more and
+ "usebuggroups" is enabled, the new group will be assigned a groupset bit
+ using Perl math that is not exact beyond 2^48. This results in the new
+ group being defined with a "bit" that has several bits set. As users are
+ given access to the new group, those users will also gain access to
+ spurious lower group privileges. Also, group bits were not always reused
+ when groups were deleted.

+- The email interface had another insecure single parameter system call. This
