A new version of the blogging plattform Wordpress has been released today. It is an advised update for every webmaster especially for those with register_globals enabled. A security vulnerability was found that can be exploited if that setting is enabled.
The new version fixes more than 20 bugs and security vulnerabilities. Some of the most important fixes include tagging support for Windows Live Writer, a login fix for blogs that have different Wordpress and Blog addresses, faster taxonomy database queries, that emailed posts can now be assigned to the author if the email uses a hyphen and link importer fixes.
I had no troubles overwriting the files of my Wordpress installation to speed up the process. A suggestion would be to backup your blog before you start the process.

Please keep your admonition to use Firefox to yourself. I don’t give a rip. I use three different browsers on occasions. I own two different brands of cars. I eat lost of cuisines. Firefox is fine. I don’t mind it. What I mind is people telling me that it is the best thing since sliced bread. It’s a browser, not the cure for cancer. If it is better, it will win. If it’s not, it will die. If you want to be an elitist, buy an Apple.
There. I feel better. Sorry to rant, but one gets a bit tired of the endless hype of everyday things, you know? No offense intended. ;o)
