WordPress 2.8.5 was released a few days ago. I have successfully upgraded mine a couple of minutes ago. It only took me less than a minute using the WordPress auto update function. This version is considered as a security upgrade thus is very important for all blog owners running on WordPress platform to perform the upgrade.
Here are the summary of changes in the 2.8.5 version:
- Fix the Trackback Denial-of-Service attack.
- 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.

Since successfully installed Ubuntu 9.04 a few days ago, I have been busy trying out things in the new OS. Below is what I have done/configured/installed/tried:

Installation of Ubuntu 9.04 (was Trying Ubuntu 8.10)
It was quite a frustrating day yesterday as far as my attempt to install Ubuntu 8.10 goes. In my previous post, I mentioned that the installation was not smooth; it hangs mid way. Let me tell you in detail what actually happened yesterday.
First attempt to install Ubuntu 8.10 was on my 6 years old Twinhead Efio D212A with AMD Athlon and 376MB RAM. I tried to install twice, but on both occasions, the installation hangs at step 4 of 7 – at the partition stage. I thought it was going to take me 30 minutes to install, max… but, after almost 2 hours, I decided to take a break. But before I leave my notebook, I downloaded the latest version, 9.04.

Trying Ubuntu 8.10
I downloaded Ubuntu 8.10 last week and copied the ISO image to a CD. This morning, a couple of minutes ago, I started to install it on my other notebook. It is still running now. While waiting, I browse the Ubuntu site (www.ubuntu.com), and damn… they have just released version 9.04. What a waste.
