I loaded my blog today to find that there’s a brand new release for WordPress. It’s only a point release, but this release has a huge amount of security fixes in, so it’s worth upgrading as soon as you can. The great thing with the recent versions of WordPress is that upgrading is a smooth and easy process; and this was just as easy for me as it could be. Couple of clicks, waited for a few minutes and bam, I’m on the latest version. Here are some of the things fixed in this release:
- A fix for the Trackback Denial-of-Service attack that is currently being seen.
- Removal of areas within the code where php code in variables was evaluated.
- Switched the file upload functionality to be whitelisted for all users including Admins.
- Retiring of the two importers of Tag data from old plugins.
So whether you have a joke blog, or one which focuses on equestrian apparel; just go ahead and upgrade as soon as you can.
