It is fixed in 1.4.15. If we would have a ticket in bug-system we could have it be fixed in the final .14, now we built a .15 with just that fix.

Have the cookie problems been fixed in the release...I don't want to upgrade if it is going to screw things up.

Yes there are serious issues with cookies if using this latest version of lighty. Many users reported problems after starting to use 1.4.14.

There's a serious regression with cookies. Authentication doesn't work any more with VBulletin and that pre-release. Reverting to 1.4.13 fixes it.
