WordPress 2.8.2 Available for Download

I upgraded recently too. Mine was a skip upgrade from 2.8 to 2.8.2 (I had earlier missed the 2.8.1 version). Luckily no1 exploited those holes which were lying for sometime.

Im upgraded and waiting for the next update.

I don't wanna go through the auto way of updation. Is there any link at wordpress website which provide list of files, needs to be updated?

Wow, just checked at wordpress.org/showcase and you're there. I thought of submitting my site (lol) before I read the strict conditions. I'll quote:
* Using WordPress in a unique or innovative way.
* Attracting tens of thousands of regular readers.
* Being written by someone famous or especially notable in his or her particular field.
* Representing a notable organization, government entity, or corporation as an official blog or web site.

I don't think I have any of those. Lol!

Just upgraded, like taking candy from a baby, well maybe not my son, but thanks...

It is a hassle to keep up with upgrades on your blogs, but don't overlook it! I had a bunch of old blogs I didn't upgrade for some time, and they were exploited.

Because of this I always wait for a while to upgrade my blog to latest version. As I knew you will get new version very soon.

Was this the reason why the Wordpress.org site was down? Best to to update the blog then.

I am not so quick but feel the time has come to upgrade.

What? I have waited weeks (months?) before upgrading to 2.8 because I was wary it might contain bugs that could mess up my fragile blog. Then, just when I thought the water is clear, here comes this 'not fully sanitized' issue.

Anyway, thanks JC for this prompt notice.

How crazy is that, just upgraded to 2.8.1 and now have to upgrade again. At least I finally fixed the plugin problems I have been having with 2.8 and everything is running fine. Gotta love crazy wordpress updates.

It seems like they launch a new version every month. They launch a version with bugs and then they launch a new version to fix those bugs :S.

XSS is one of the most common uses of site vulnerabilities and can be used on a number of web based applications. That is normally tied into drive by downloads of malware which infects a system. Most people dont realise this has happened and they only find out after their bank acounts are affected.

Although browser security is increasing this does happen very frequently.

John I just started reading your ebook, excellent job.

I made the mistake of testing free content creation for my blog and stopped it as I didn't like the way content was created and was not in control of it.

Kontera have denied my application. If I remove the generated content will they accept my application? I have considering it but looks like my overall feeling is that you must stay away from it.

Lol John, you're quick. Just upgraded!
