1.0.13 has been released but it breaks a few things apparently. :'(
e.g. it breaks community builder

I also heard form Orstio that it breaks the latest version of his SMF bridge for those who already use it.
There is also a strong possibility that it breaks other bridges including VM so be sure to test your site on a copy before upgrading, or check with the suppliers of your components to see if they are affected. - Last Edit: 17 years 9 months ago by Daniel Chapman.

There's a hotfix on the VM site which sorts the problem out
I've tested it and it works fine

- FYI, the change was related to how the login works because a new random salt was added to all passwords. This was done to further protect passwords from brute force attacks. Any 3rd party component that 'hacks' their own login process (VM, CB, SMFBridges) are going to have to incorporate the new algorithm in their login features to match.

Cool. Good move then... and certainly not a bug!

it puts a : in a random place.
Not sure it makes it that much more secure if everyone knows the fix!

one extra character, even if it is a known character, will add a few hours, if not days and weeks, to a brute force attempt. Most hosts/webmasters would notice the attempt by then.
I lock people out of my server after just 5 failed attempts ;D
...joomla should do that... 5 failed attempts means a 10 min block on the IP. - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.
