Full details can be found in the update thread: php 2.0.19 released [phpbb.com]

This release addresses several bugfixes and some security issues only affecting Internet Explorer. Additionally we introduced a new feature to limit the number of logins. The admin is able to configure this feature on two ways, defining the number of maximum allowed logins and setting a time period after the user is allowed to login again. With this feature we hope to address the recent dictionary attacks happening on some forums to crack user passwords.

I didn't realize that phpBB didn't limit login attempts. That's a good feature to have.

Thought I could get by without it but it is also a security update. With all my mods phpbb takes up way too much of my time updating it.

Yeh I've started limiting the mods I use - I've always tended to use update time as a reason to review the mods I have installed and possibly replace them or add some new ones.
