Release 2.2.58 (19th July 2017):

Important:

    TL-14946       The webdav_locks table has been dropped from the database

                   The webdav_locks table has been dropped from the database.
                   It is a legacy table from Totara 1.1 and has never been used in Totara 2 or
                   above.
                   It had already been dropped from Totara 9 and 10.
                   The decision was made to drop the table from stable branches as it
                   contained a field that was using a name that had become a reserved word in
                   modern databases.
                   By dropping this unused table we can help ensure that database upgrades
                   will not be problematic in the supported stable releases.


Security issues:

    TL-12940       Applied account lockout threshold when using webservice authentication

                   Previously, the account lockout threshold, for number of incorrect
                   passwords, was not taken into account when webservice authentication was
                   being used. The account lockout functionality now applies to webservice
                   authentication. Please note that this refers to the authentication type
                   that allows users to log in with username and password, not when accessing
                   their account using a webservice token.

    TL-12942       Stopped the supplied passwords being logged in failed web services authentication

                   When web service authentication was used, entries recorded to the logs for
                   failed log in attempts included the supplied password in plain text. This
                   is no longer recorded.
