Claroline 1.7.7 provides significant security improvement and repairs a security flaw remaining in the previous version.

The Claroline development team has implemented a new protection system rising the general security level of the platform one step further. This new protection system should prevent any input injection even on web servers where PHP is unproperly configured, like register globals set to ON.

In addition this release also provides some new translations and minor bug fixes.
