Team Mambo has released the Public Beta for version 4.6, the newest version of the Award-winning Mambo Open Source Content Management System. The beta release is provided in advance of the final release to encourage community feedback and to help third party developers understand better the changes which are being implemented in the system.

UNC Chapel Hill's Division of Student Affairs recently deployed Mambo to all recognized student organizations on campus. Now, over 600 different organizations have access to the the power and simplicity of Mambo.

"The Mambo team has been busy putting the final touches on 4.6. While we don't have every little detail worked out just yet we do feel it is quite stable. We are now targeting Monday (6th March 2006)as the day for the first Public Release Candidate (4.6 RC1).

We want to give you guys (our community) some time to test drive the release and report back any issues before we seal it up and call it good.

The Public RC1 will be available on "The Source"  for download. We will most likely give the community two weeks from Monday to report any issues. We'll do our best to take care of them and turn out a solid release shortly thereafter. A ton of work has gone into this release and I am getting really excited to see it hit the streets."

Looks like the wait is almost over. Watch this space for an announcement later today for the release of version 4.6 Public RC1. To download Mambo, go to Mamboxchange.com

There is huge publicity about the Mare.D Linux worm and Mambo on the internet at present. It is not clear how this story started. The only security company to have recorded anything is F-Secure and nobody has been able to contact them for additional information.

This was picked up in a VNUNET story that has been repeatedly copied, more or less verbatim. There is talk of the Mare.D worm and vulnerabilities in XML-RPC and Mambo. But the references to Secunia advisories on these two products are to items dated 29 June 2005 and 21 February 2005 respectively. Both products have been updated since then. Mare.D is also described as having aliases such as such as Linux.Plupii.C, Unix/ShellBot.C which are old worms.

So it is not clear that anything new has happened at all. Maybe this is a hoax, for whatever reason, maybe somebody doesn't know the difference between 2005 and 2006. Please spread this information wherever you can.

You are strongly advised to keep up with security advice from the Mambo team - join the mailing list if you want to be notified of any security news.

Team Mambo and The Mambo Foundation launched today a new site for the Mambo Community. The site is called The Source and it is intended to provide the following:

• A stable home for official Mambo Foundation releases
  
• Information for Members & Community
  
• A place for Members to promote their work
  
• Resources for Developers selling Mambo solutions
  
• Access to Team Mambo
  
• A home for the Mambo Podcasts & a Media Room for the Press

While the current site is still a work in progress, there is enough information there to give you an idea of where we are headed. With the Forge currently unavailable, we rushed this to completion to give access to Core Files and important information. (Note that The Source is not intended as a replacement for the Forge; the purpose of the site and the mechanisms are completely different.)

Team Mambo hopes that you find The Source a useful addition to the services we provide to the Mambo Communityand we welcome your feedback.
