Still on Drupal 7? Security support for Drupal 7 ended on 5 January 2025. Please visit our Drupal 7 End of Life resources page to review all of your options.
This release includes the fix for an important bug (#810534: Fix CAPTCHA session reuse), which made it possible to reuse CAPTCHA sessions and lowered the barrier to entry for spam bots. The fix is a rather big change, including a database change, so do not forget to run the update.php script.
