Joomla! 3.6.2 is now available. This is a bug fix release for the 3.x series of Joomla. This release fixes some bugs in email cloaking and sessions from Joomla! 3.6.1.

What's in 3.6.2

Joomla! 3.6.2 fixes some issues found in the 3.6.1 release on Wednesday related to sessions on PHP 5.3 and some general email cloaking bugs:

• PHP 5.3 users were unable to login
• Cloaking emails could cause issues with placeholder and input values that were emails
• Emails in links with attributes had the attributes stripped when email cloaking happens

There were some known issues when updating to 3.6.1. Read about them here.
For known issues with the 3.6.2 release, see the Version 3.6.2 FAQ in the documentation site.

The Production Leadership Team's goal is to continue to provide regular, frequent updates to the Joomla! Community. Learn more about Joomla! development at the Joomla! Developer Network.
