Although Trac has it listed as due on the sixth of June, WordPress 2.0.3 has come out early. It’s a minor update, quashing just 13 bugs, but according to the developer blog, some of those fixes are backports from the upcoming 2.1 release (date still unknown). Download now.
This is a bug fix and security release, and is recommended for all WordPress users. In addition to an issue that was raised on Bugtraq a few days ago, we’ve also backported a number of security enhancements from 2.1 to further enhance and protect your blog.
For the curious, this release includes:
- Small performance enhancements
- Movable Type / Typepad importer fix
- Enclosure (podcasting) fix
- The aforementioned security enhancements (nonces)
Naturally, this blog is already updated (despite a strange problem with SFTP this morning). The rest will follow.
Do you not use SVN?
With a simple:
svn export —force http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/trunk/ ~/robm.me.uk/
I was done!
Is your question “Do you not use SVN to regularly update your blog” or “Do you not use SVN to get new releases instead of the provided tarball”?
The former, although it implies the latter I guess.
Nah. I’ve tried development snapshots of WordPress before and it didn’t work so well.
