wordpress 2.06
January 12th, 2007If you’re running wordpress 2.0x on your site, then you need to get the latest wordpress version 2.06. I’ve just now updated and the upgrade was pretty quick and painless. There is an important security update in this version, along with other improvements listed below:
We have a pretty important release available for everyone, it includes an important security fix and it’s recommended that everyone upgrade. This is the latest release in our stable 2.0 line, which we’ve committed to maintaining for several more years.
Here’s what’s new:
- The aforementioned security fixes.
- HTML quicktags now work in Safari browsers.
- Comments are filtered to prevent them from messing up your blog layout.
- Compatibility with PHP/FastCGI setups.
For developers, there’s a new anti-XSS function called attribute_escape(), and a new filter called “query” which allows you filter any SQL at runtime. (Which is pretty powerful.) Thanks to Mark Jaquith for handling this release and Stefan Esser for responsibly reporting the security issue.
As always, you can download the latest version of WordPress here.

cool!
i read that the security fixes are mainly (and quite obviously) aimed at preventing hacker and spammer activity.
i’m all for it if we can stay a step ahead of the hackers and spammers.
