cpg1.5.22 maintenance release - upgrade recommended

[Αndré]

The Coppermine development team is releasing an update for Coppermine in order to fix several minor issues. All fixes are not security critical, so if your gallery is running fine with cpg1.5.20 you don't need to upgrade. If you are running an older version than cpg1.5.20, you must update to this latest version as soon as possible because of the security impact!

How to update:
Users running versions prior to 1.5.22 should update by downloading the latest version from the download page and following the upgrade steps in the documentation.

Support:
If you have problems with this update, please use the Update support board. Do not post your issues to this announcement thread - your post will be deleted without notice.
