New Wordpress Version Released

by David Pitlyuk in Business, Blogging, and Web Sites | 3 Comments

Wordpress just released version 2.2.1, which fixes some bugs, as well as some security holes.  Here’s a list of fixed bugs:

  • Atom feed validation fixes
  • XML-RPC fixes
  • Widget backward compatibility fixes
  • Widget layout fixes for IE7
  • Page and Text Widget improvements

A list of security holes fixed are as follows:

  • Remote shell injection in PHPMailer
  • Remote SQL injection in XML-RPC
  • Unescaped attribute in default theme

Due to the security fixes, it’s highly recommended to upgrade to the latest version.  It can be downloaded here.

    No new features…it’s an upgrade from 2.2 to 2.2.1, so it’s really not an entirely new version or anything. It mainly fixes some bugs and security stuff. Nothing too exciting ;)

    Was just about to upgrade. There is a script-kiddie going around exploiting wordpress in my group so it’s probably a good idea before my posts are all deleted.
