I’ve just released version 1.6.16 of the CUNY Academic Commons. This maintenance release features a security fix related to the Social plugin, and restrictions to the registration process to prevent certain undergraduate accounts.

Due to a logistical problem, there will be no major update release this month. A major update release will take place on October 21, with updates announced on October 5.
