Wordpress 2.0.7 Fixes PHP Security and Feedburner Bugs



Just 10 days back there was a new release of Wordpress 2.0.6, recommended as an essential security upgrade for all Wordpress users. Then a Feedburner issue bugged the release and now they have released Wordpress 2.0.7 that fixes PHP security problems and those Feedburner issues.

Its a small selective, but essential update and you can update only these files that have changed from Wordpress 2.0.6 -

* wp-admin/inline-uploading.php
* wp-admin/post.php
* wp-includes/classes.php
* wp-includes/functions.php
* wp-settings.php
* wp-includes/version.php

Download Wordpress 2.0.7. I am glad they released information about these updated files, and upgrading to Wordpress 2.0.7 was a quick as it can be. Wordpress 2.1 is expected at the end of this month.

Update: Just in case you were wondering if you should upgrade, and why this hurried release of Wordpress 2.0.7 is important - a wordpress exploit was causing a hacker to break into top SEO blogs.
