WordPress 2.0.7 – security fixes.

Kinda instantly obsoleted WordPress 2.0.6 – which in itself was bug and security fixes.

WordPress 2.1 still moves forward; beta 2 via svn is looking pretty sweet.

WordPress 2.1 beta 1

by ezs | Jan 3, 2007 | blogging, patching, Uncategorized, wordpress

Hot on the heels of WordPress 2.0.6 release candidate – is WordPress 2.1 beta 1.

I tried the alpha from subversion on this blog a while ago; it looked promising. Now we are at beta 1.

You can get the beta from here; knowing the test and release team – it will be live in weeks.

WordPress 2.0.6 RC2

Update time again – this time for another security issue.

Here’s the mail from wp-testers:

http://wordpress.org/beta/wordpress-2.0.6-RC2.zip
http://wordpress.org/beta/wordpress-2.0.6-RC2.tar.gz

RC2 addresses the following vulnerability.

We also changed how we escape HTML attributes. Escaping is done with a new
attribute_escape() function.

This touched a lot of files so we need to do some broad testing to make sure we didn’t fat finger anything.

Should be GA soon; advisable to upgrade.
