The Joomla! security team has announced today the immediate availability of Joomla 1.5.22. With this new security release, we’ve also launched a new RSFirewall! revision, that includes hash files for Joomla! 1.5.22.

We recommend to perform a new System Check and update both Joomla! and RSFirewall! to the latest versions.

New user options have been added to the “Memberships” and “Configuration” tabs, starting with RSMembership! revision 14:
disable account when a membership expires, change the user type based on their membership, display a CAPTCHA system for registered/unregistered users or allow subscribers to choose their username.

1. Allow customers to choose their username when subscribing

Starting with rev. 14, in the "Configuration" tab, you can allow subscribers to choose their username when purchasing a new membership.
