I'm glad to see this release, only I wish it was made a week ago. Hopefully it'll put to bed at least some of the conspiracy theories and accusations.
Hah. It actually confirms several of them and leaves several more at least as plausible as they were before. In particular, it confirms the allegations that Mt Gox did actually have a SQL injection vulnerability and the theory that the attacker had somehow managed to gain write access to the database and created themselves a whole bunch of coins from thin air, both of which contradicted Mt Gox's previous statements.
