Another WordPress Update

Just 10 days after the last WordPress update, another one was released today. Version 2.07 fixes the following problems:

  • Security fix for wp_unregister_GLOBALS() to work around the zend_hash_del_key_or_index bug in PHP 4 versions less than 4.4.3 and PHP 5 versions less than 5.1.4 with register_globals set to “On.”
  • Feeds now properly serve 304 Not Modified headers instead of mismatched 200/304 headers (a.k.a. the FeedBurner bug).
  • Backport of another 304 Not Modified fix from WordPress 2.1
  • Deleting WordPress Pages no longer gives an “Are You Sure?” prompt.
  • After deleting a WordPress Page, you are now properly redirected to the Edit Pages screen.
  • Sending an image at original size in Internet Explorer no longer adds an incorrect “height” attribute.

This was my second WordPress update and, like the first one, it was done flawlessly. I still recommend using the WordPress Database Backup plugin by Scott Merrill. Its the easiest way to backup your database and it should be done regularly.

Its good to see that the WordPress development team are working diligently to fix problems and enhance their product. They expect to release version 2.1 by the end of this month.
