Yesterday, WordPress 2.9.2 was released to correct a bug in which “trashed” blog posts are visible by potentially unauthorized users.
According to Ryan, this can occur when logged-in users attempt to browse the trash area; these users can view posts that belong to others, so sensitive or private information may be inappropriately accessible. Thomas Mackenzie first [...]

WordPress 2.9.1 was released yesterday, after a relatively short beta and RC1 pair of cycles.

I’ve always wondered how some popular open source and GPL projects keep going. Many times, they seem to implode upon themselves, whether due to internal or external forces imposing their undue influences upon the work at hand.

Apparently, several people have had issues with WordPress 2.9 since its FCS release just a few days ago.
In fact, this has caught on such attention that there has been mention by Jeff (at Weblog Tools Collection), Keith (also at Weblog Tools Collection), and at the WordPress development blog about a beta version of WordPress 2.9.1 [...]

Jeff Chandler, at the Weblog Tools Collection blog, posts that WordPress 2.9.1 beta version will be available shortly to address a WordPress core bug in the 2.9 version.
While undoubtedly version 2.9.1 will include additional bug fixes, there is a bug fix reported in WordPress’ Trac issue tracker:

So those of you who wish to assemble your [...]

For those of you who were wondering whether to upgrade to WordPress 2.8.5, given the relative stability of 2.8.4, wonder no longer: you might as well upgrade to 2.8.6 instead. Yesterday, WordPress 2.8.6 was released, to address a couple of security vulnerabilities found since 2.8.5. Ryan discusses the fixes being provided in 2.8.6: our recommendation [...]

As first mentioned over at Javamancy mini, WordPress 2.8.5 was just released. WordPress 2.8.4 has held steady for more than two months at this point, and it almost seemed as if we, the blogging community, would be able to make it to December and the WordPress 2.9 release. Alas, no… Of course, since this is [...]
