Release notes

Fix for Session reuse hack

This release includes the fix for an important bug (#810534: Fix CAPTCHA session reuse), which made it possible to reuse CAPTCHA sessions and lowered the barrier to entry for spam bots. The fix is a rather big change, including a database change, so do not forget to run the update.php script.

For more info: also see the release notes for CAPTCHA 6.x-2.3-RC1 and CAPTCHA 6.x-2.3-RC2.
