Just a clarification, 3.12.3 contains security fixes, anyone using an earlier version of 3.12.x is recommended to upgrade ASAP. http://koha-community.org/koha-3-12-3-released/ There are security releases for 3.6.x, 3.8.x and 3.10.x too. Chris
Users of Koha Live DVD 3.12.00 can upgrade to latest version by applying following commands in a terminal,

Hi Vimal，
Koha 3.12.3 Live DVD released. Koha 3.12.3 is a bugfix/maintenance release and contains important security fixes. It also contains 15 bugfixes and 2 enhancements. Download from here, https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6E3iEzJp74ueDdwbFZhV1FVN2c
Thanks for this new LiveDVD.
Users of Koha Live DVD 3.12.00 can upgrade to latest version by applying following commands in a terminal,
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade apt-get install koha-common
These commands update koha to latest version which is 3.12.4 now, not 3.12.3. One more thing, what is your opinion about last email from Mark Tompsett about change MySQL password? Could you update readme file accordingly? 2013/9/7 Mark Tompsett <mtompset@hotmail.com>:
Greetings,
Having read those instructions, I would like to make two comments. Let's start with the positive: The MySQL portion is fine. Then the real reason for this reply: NEVER ASSUME A LINE TO CHANGE IS A FIXED LINE NUMBER! Someone may have enabled a biblio or authority server and edited the XML file already.
I personally would suggest: - edit the koha-conf.xml file using sudo <favorite editor> /{the path to the config file}/koha-conf.xml - look for the line starting with <config> (e.g. In vi it would be exactly: /^<config>) - then a couple lines down it should be apparent. - however, you probably want to then look for <pass> (e.g. In vi it would be exactly: /<pass>) Now you are likely at the right line.
Consider this command in the package installation instructions: $ sudo xmlstarlet sel -t -v 'yazgfs/config/pass' /etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml This tells you what Koha thinks is the password to access the MySQL database belonging to it. You may need to tweak it to be the path to your koha-conf.xml, but the idea is the same.
Obviously, before and after will differ.
GPML, Mark Tompsett

Dear Mao, I would like to share some thoughts on your doubts.
These commands update koha to latest version which is 3.12.4 now, not 3.12.3.
Can we lock to version 3.12.3 without any upgrades? In my knoweledge the same securiy fixes are available with 3.12.4.

Main audience of Live DVD is Koha and Linux newbies. Managing veditor is very difficulty for newbies. Leafpad is the default editor of Live DVD. Directions to open conf file using leafpad will be easy. Users can easily find the exact line using Find option in leafpad. I will rewrite the read me file based on leafpad editor. Its nice someone create a wiki page for Koha master password change. Regards, -- Vimal Kumar V.
