We are in the process of doing a comprehensive review and rework of our
input validation framework for the upcoming 1.2.9 release. We advise
you to not update directly from the 1.2 branch in our SVN repository as
we may leave it in an
... [More]
unstable state for a couple of days. Please wait
until we release 1.2.9 before you update again from the 1.2 branch.
If
you don't know about Subversion (SVN) and usually upgrade your
installation from released packages, you don't have to worry. We will
announce the next realease as usual.
Thank you for your understanding and have fun! [Less]

Lifetype 1.2.6 is the latest maintenance release of the 1.2 branch
and though we said that 1.2.5 was "as rock-solid as it gets", there
continued to be a number of improvements and at least one significant
bug fix. There haven't

been very many support requests on the forums

just adds icing to the cake.

Release notes for Lifetype 1.2.5
Description
Lifetype 1.2.5 is the latest maintenance release of the 1.2 branch and after five maintenance releases, this is as stable and rock-solid as it gets. Continuing with the trend started in the
... [More]
1.2 branch, Lifetype 1.2.5 delivers a couple of minor new features and some polish under the hood, specially concerning the API. We have noticed that as of late, there has been a somewhat remarkable increase of support issues and bug reports related to the API, so it finally seems like users and developers have started to realize the potential of the fully-featured and documented API that you get with Lifetype (and for free!) We're happy to see such trend and we'll continue to support and encourage enterprising users to make the best out of Lifetype classes and libraries.

If upgrading from Lifetype 1.2.4, there are packages available which only include new or modified files and will allow you to upgrade from Lifetype 1.2.4 only. These packages can not be used to upgrade from 1.1.x or 1.2 to 1.2.5:

New features
The following features have been introduced in Lifetype 1.2.5.
"Bookmarkable" filters
Some screens in Lifetype support filtering based on certain conditions but so far there was no easy way to save those filters so that for example we could quickly access the list of users marked as disabled and whose username starts with "a". As of Lifetype 1.2.5, there is a small icon that looks like a link next to each group of filters. This icon is nothing but a link pointing to the current page with its filtered values, so all you need to do is bookmark this link in your browser for future usage.
Totally disable the data cache
So far there was no way to disable the data cache, the layer that is responsible of saving data loaded from the database to disk for faster access later, so we have added some additional code for the very few cases where disabling the data cache is needed.
In order to disable the cache, edit the file config/cache.properties.php and make the following change:
$config["cache_method"] = "null";
Setting cache_method to 'null' will effectively disable the data cache.
Notification of new blogs
When a new blog is registered via summary.php, administrators can now optionally receive a notification message informing them of the new regsitration regardless of the status of the blog.
Issues fixed
In addition to the API fixes mentioned above, there's two long standing issues that have been addressed in this release: Lifetype can finally handle backslashes comfortably and the size of thumbnails is correctly calculated when keeping the aspect ratio and using the GD backend. An important issue that was allowing spam comments to be saved to the database instead of being rejected as spam has also been fixed has also been fixed.
This is the full list of issues fixed in Lifetype 1.2.5, extracted from the project's bug tracking system:
1359: Fix for Blogs::getAllBlogs()
1366: Files uploaded to the wrong destination when using the API
1367: "Default article category" not working
1141: Backslashes getting filtered
1356: Font options greyed out after preview
1376: Joomla user data provider not working with Joomla older than 1.0.13
1382: In the edit categories menu, a 0 is shown incorrectly if there aren't any published articles in a category.
1380: Conditionally show categories on the main page is broken.
1386: Spammers are able to post comments even if comments are disabled for a particular post
1387: comments with article_id = 0 created by some spam bots
1392: PluginTemplatedView not using cache anyway
1395: BlogNameValidator() will cause add blog error even the Chinese blog name is valid
1396: Templates directory hardcoded in baserequestgenerator.class.php
1400: PDbResultSet::GetArray() missing
1409: Problems displaying article categories
1413: Dots as part of a category name do not work with custom URLs
1407: final_size_thumbnail is calculated wrong [Less]
