Newer version of WordPress (1.5.2) available for download
Due to a security issue uncovered after the initial announcement of version 1.5.2 of WordPress, anyone who downloaded it late Sunday night (August 14, 02005) should check that they have the latest version of wp-settings.php, according to the WordPress Development Blog, and this interesting post and comments in Doug Campbell’s Geek Ramblings blog.
A new version of WordPress (1.5.2) is available for download. I installed it this afternoon. I use a slightly different procedure than are found in the upgrade instructions on the WordPress Code. Instead of deleting the files on the server side, except for the ones that need to be retained, I download everything, rename the current WordPress directory, upload the new stuff content to the WordPress direcctory, and then upload content from what I downloaded that’s needed to reflect my existing layout and content. Although this is more time consuming, it means I won’t accidentally delete a file that should be kept.
