BASIS International Ltd. releases version 13.14 of BBj®, the Barista® Application Framework, and AddonSoftware® by Barista. This final maintenance release incorporates customer requested fixes and all patches applied to 13.13. Download release 13.14 today and refer to the readme, relnotes, and fixes files for more information. 

 

In addition, BASIS releases version 13.14 of the 64-bit Windows ODBC Driver to address the Heartbleed security vulnerability. Using previous versions of BBj's 64-bit (not 32-bit) Windows ODBC driver to connect to a remote BBj Services server over the Internet instead of a LAN or VPN connection poses a small security risk. Such an attack would be difficult to accomplish unless the client or the server is using a very insecure Internet connection such as a public WiFi hotspot.

 

As a safeguard, BASIS recommends upgrading to the new 64-bit Windows ODBC Driver to avoid even this small risk. For more information, refer to the knowledge base article Heartbleed Fix for 64-bit Windows ODBC Driver.
