Wordpress 2.5.1 (Very Important Security Fix) - Upgrade Now

Posted on Apr 25, 2008. Written by Syed Balkhi

Upgrade your Wordpress Now

Well it is not long after the last Wordpress (2.5) release which was on March 29th. Not even a month after Wordpress has announced the release of the newer version Wordpress 2.5.1. This is a must upgrade version. Find out Why?

Wordpress has announced a very important security fix in this release. The vulnerability of the older version is not out in the public yet, but it will be shorty. According to the wordpress website everyone should upgrade to this release, particularly those who have open registration on their blog, so I am assuming this is a registration bug which is quiet major.

Aside from the security fix, there were number of other bugs that were fixed and several improvements were made in regards to performance enhancement. If you download this Wordpress 2.5.1, you will be getting over 70 bug fixes as well as improved perfomance. Just an overview of the update:

  • - Performance improvements for the Dashboard, Write Post, and Edit Comments pages.
  • - Better performance for those who have many categories
  • - Media Uploader fixes
  • - An upgrade to TinyMCE 3.0.7
  • - Widget Administration fixes
  • - Various usability improvements
  • - Layout fixes for IE

Well what the heck are you waiting for? Upgrade your blogs…. I just upgraded mine because I CARE. Do you care?? You are still reading go on and upgrade.

I dont know if you read but as far as I have known alot of blogs tend to get hacked because they are not updated … Because after a while wordpress let the vulnerability of the old versions out … If you see what I am saying. You should upgrade immidiately.
