Update Information:

Maintenance and security release of the Drupal 6 series.  This release fixes
**security vulnerabilities**. Sites are [urged to upgrade
immediately](https://www.drupal.org/node/1494290) after reading the notes below
and the security announcement:  [Drupal Core - Critical - Multiple
Vulnerabilities - SA-CORE-2015-003](https://www.drupal.org/SA-CORE-2015-003) No
other fixes are included.  No changes have been made to the .htaccess,
robots.txt or default settings.php files in this release, so upgrading custom
versions of those files is not necessary.  #### Known issues:  None.  #### Major
changes since 6.36:  * For security reasons, the autocomplete system now makes
Ajax requests to non-clean URLs only, although protection is also in place for
custom code that does so using clean URLs. There is a new form API #process
function on autocomplete-enabled text fields that is required for the
autocomplete functionality to work; custom and contributed modules should ensure
that they are not overriding this #process function accidentally when altering
text fields on forms. Part of the security fix also includes changes to
theme_textfield(); it is recommended that sites which override this theme
function make those changes as well (see the theme_textfield section of this
diff for details). * When form API token validation fails (for example, when a
cross-site request forgery attempt is detected, or a user tries to submit a form
after having logged out and back in again in the meantime), the form API now
skips calling form element value callbacks, except for a select list of
callbacks provided by Drupal core that are known to be safe. In rare cases, this
could lead to data loss when a user submits a form and receives a token
validation error, but the overall effect is expected to be minor.
