  45  Security Information
  46  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
  47  PixelPost 1.4.2 is mainly a security upgrade.
  48  Many of our users suffered from heavy referer-spam in the last time and
  49  that's why we concentrated especially on security in this version.
  50  
  51  The main aspect is to stop referer-spam and to minimize server-load which
  52  can be caused by heavy referer-attacks.
