A week or so ago, a vulnerability was discovered in vBSEO. We immediately patched the required files and ran a security sweep of the site. While the patch should have only fixed the vulnerability, we had some weirdness on the servers that we suspected the patch being responsible for. Just to be sure, we went ahead and did a full package install to be sure that everything was correct. This fixed the weirdness as planned.
We exported our settings and re-imported them, so nothing should have changed, which is why we didn't feel the need to make any notification.

This time it was all about security.

It wasn't an intentional change, and we have absolutely no problem reverting it.
