[drupal-support] Drupal 4.6.3 released (security alert)

[Rob]

Using a remote posting tool was one of the main reasons I picked Drupal. I 
use BlogJet and can post entries in just a few seconds which saves me a lot 
of time. If the file is deleted will that prevent me from ever using remote 
applications again?
