So that means there’s lot happening behind the scenes, eh? Shortly after the release of Wordpress 2.5, Version 2.5.1 is in the stable. WP 2.5.1 includes a number of bug fixes, performance enhancements, and one very important security fix (Does anyone know what the hell is this?). The wordpress community recommends that everyone update immediately, particularly if your blog has open registration. The vulnerability is not public but it will be shortly. I’m guessing it’s got to do something with the “open registration” thing.

And yea, if you are not upgrading because you think it’s a boring process, there’s this cool Wordpress Automatic Upgrade plugin from Keith that let’s you do it in a few clicks! Yup, the wizard stuff.

Meanwhile, any guesses on what the vulnerability is? Developers?

Having upgraded three blogs to version 2.5.1 using WPAU in a matter of minutes without problems, I can vouch for the performance of this plugin. There is also a Secret Key available in version 2.5, that you may wish to add to your wp-config.php file for added security.
