Pligg v9.9.5 comes hot on the heels of the YADC system which was released earlier today by AshDigg a former developer of pligg, both systems are very similar in fixes and codebase which isn’t surprising as they share the same SVN revision as a codebase. What is a little surprising though is some of the SVN edit time similartities with YADC and Pigg even more so when you compare both projects edits. Going on SVN dates and times Pligg v9.9.5 is crammed with YADC code.

Example One Below is an image with the times at which files files were edited and bugfixed on the YADC SVN.

Example Two Below is an image with the times at which files were edited or bugfixed on the Pligg SVN.

Example Three Below is an image in which we compared the YADC Beta 1 and Pligg Beta 9.9.5 codebase, these are the only files that are different between both projects.

Pligg have clearley made most of the security edits after YADC was released by AshDigg earier today, whats more they give no credit to YADC for the fixes. If you were wondering how pligg managed to get the bugfixes out so fast all of a sudden now you know, it would seem they got the code from YADC.

Pligg Beta v9.9.5 can be downloaded from below.
