Hi all,
Though this should not affect your projects, we wanted to be transparent
about an update to CommCareHQ that we made today in reaction to a recent
vulnerability discovered in a common security protocol.
Because the update has the potential to affect how form submissions work,
we've done our best to quickly test that submissions work properly across
all devices. We don't anticipate that your project will be affected.
However, we expect this could affect IE6 users, and it is possible that it
may cause submission issues from older, untested phones.
Please reach out to commcarehq-support@dimagi.com if you believe this has
caused any problems with your application or your phones.
