WordPress 2.8.5

If you are reading this, than Jeremy-Gilby-dot-com successfully updated to WordPress 2.8.5.

I did a “Full Monty” (A remove and re-install) this time, since I had the issues with the server last week.

The headline changes in this release are:

  • A fix for the Trackback Denial-of-Service attack that is currently being seen.
  • Removal of areas within the code where php code in variables was evaluated.
  • Switched the file upload functionality to be whitelisted for all users including Admins.
  • Retiring of the two importers of Tag data from old plugins.

So, as before, I’ve set up an article at the backup blog, to collect comments, if you cannot leave them here.
