The Joomla 3.7 release added new features AND 8 (eight) low-level security patches.
What they should have done, was to release 3.6.6 with all of the security patches as a ‘security’ release. Then, after the dust settles, release v3.7.0 with the new functionality. They combined both “security” and “new functionality” into the 3.7 release. To me, it seems they should have pushed the security patches into 3.6.6 and then the new features into 3.7, rather than a combination.
The result is a scramble in the Joomla community where everyone rushes to install version 3.7 because it contains security patches. Then, another scramble to install 3.7.1 because 3.7.0 had a new security issue. It seems like a racket, no?
