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

[Dennis Bennett]

Sorry, Rob. I just found your message buried in the drupal folder.

You should be able to download it into the same directory that is the 
root of the Drupal install now using wget. The url for downloading is:

http://drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-4.6.3.tar.gz

I haven't read the notes on this, but I don't think there are any 
database schema changes. As long as that's the case, you should be able 
to follow the directions on the INSTALL.txt (which you may want to untar 
separately).

We probably want to tarball the existing site and do a database dump 
first. I did the same on our site the other day and restored on my 
laptop seamlessly.
