[Rumpus-talk] Rumpus 6.2 Beta 1

[John O'Fallon]

For issues specific to your license, please send private mail to "support at maxum.com 
".  But, to answer the question in general...

Rumpus 6.2 will be a free upgrade for anyone that purchased their  
Rumpus license in 2008 or 2009.  For those that purchased the license  
in 2007 or before, an upgrade cost of $99 ($149 for Pro) will apply.

It is never my intention to charge for bug fixes, including the  
resolution of security issues.  It is, however, impossible to keep  
previous versions of the software updated with bug fixes.  This does  
sometimes lead to the problem where an upgrade is more-or-less  
mandatory.  I try to minimize this by guaranteeing that all updates  
(including both maintenance and feature upgrades) are free for at  
least a year (usually quite a bit longer), but it does happen.

As for compliance testing... It's tempting to go on a rant about  
automated security scanners and how they check for esoteric,  
generalized, cookie-cutter details without understanding what is being  
tested or actually addressing real server security issues.  But I know  
that in practice, sometimes you just need a sign off.  IMHO, educating  
your organization on proper security standards and practices is the  
best way to resolve line items spewed out by a security scanner.

Nigel - I can't find your license in the database.  Send your serial  
number to "support at maxum.com" and we can discuss your specific  
licensing needs and the URL-sanitization issue (assuming that's what  
you are referring to).
