Need to upgrade to 1.3.x for security?

Hi!

I have a 1.2.7 site - do I need to upgrade to 1.3.0.2 in order to remain secure? Or are security updates still being produced for 1.2.x sites?

Are there security problems in 1.2.7 that have been fixed in 1.3.0.2 that mean an upgrade is needed?

Thanks.

Tons of things have been fixed since v1.2.7.
To have all the latest security and other fixes, it's best to use the latest version.

So does that mean as the OP asked that Version 1.2.X is no longer supported and the ZEN Cart staff no longer provide security updates for those users on a 1.2.X platform?

Go in the admin panel to Tools > Server Info and it will say right there what version you're using.
