To be honest the release note and the vunurable code is what is needed 
to make a attack code, the patch for fix it not ac much. It's pretty 
clear how to make the code as i said in the forum about this relase, the 
holding the code back only makes it take longer till all viewers are 
updated. And yes please code now so i can update my Nicholaz build for 1.19.

Maybe I still have time to fix this before sunday.
