http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=110522 by Martin Dougiamas. We recently packaged a new maintenance release for the current 1.9 version of Moodle, as well as new maintenance releases for older 1.8, 1.7 and 1.6 versions.
Each of the new releases contains long lists of minor bug fixes (see the release notes for details). Thanks to all the developers and users who helped with finding and fixing these. 
Several security vulnerabilities were also fixed in all versions, making it important that you upgrade existing Moodle sites.
Even if you can't make major upgrades in the near future, you should at least upgrade to the latest stable package for your version. (For example if you have 1.8 already, then it's very safe and easy to upgrade it to the new 1.8.7 because there are no new features, just bug fixes)
All releases are available, as usual, from the Moodle download site.

Abstract: "Not too long ago, Moodle was a little-known content and learning management application supported by a tiny community. In the last two years, it has enjoyed tremendous growth, starting in the education community but now spreading to small- to medium-size businesses. Should you be looking for ways to put this Open Source Software to work? This week’s authors give you plenty of help in answering that question!"
