Version 1.5 included some complete files for easy installation. It appears these were not updated to reflect security updates that have happened to osCommerce since the release. Version 1.6 simply includes those changes and no others.

The complete files have been updated. If you used the manual patching route, or applied the oscommerce security updates /after/ installing 1.5, you should not be affected.

Also, the file "security.diff" is included in the standard "patch" format, detailing exactly what changed between versions 1.5 and 1.6. (Unfortunately, because of how the patch was generated, it is reversed. )

I can provide no direct support for this release-- using the forum link mentioned in the instructions file is recommended.
