Wordpress 2.0.6 is out – minor release with security fixes

Wordpress (the best blogging software out there) has released version 2.0.6 yesterday which includes various security fixes. If you are planning to upgrade always take a backup of everything. If you have a lot plugins installed, there is a slight chance of something getting screwed up.

I normally wait a few days to see that things are stable and people are OK with it.

As per Wordpress blog, the security issues were reported by Stefan Esser. His blog post on Wordpress vulnerabilities was pretty harsh!

Following are the main updates in 2.0.6,

• 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.

Note: There is no change required to the Wordpress DB to upgrade.
