WordPress 2.0.6 released

ADVERTISEMENTS

WordPress 2.0.6 was released a few hours ago. This new version includes an important security fix and it’s recommended that everyone upgrade.

Here’s what’s new:

  • The aforementioned security fixes.
  • HTML quicktags now work in Safari browsers.
  • Comments are filtered to prevent them from messing up your blog layout.
  • Compatibility with PHP/FastCGI setups.

For developers, there’s a new anti-XSS function called attribute_escape(), and a new filter called “query” which allows you filter any SQL at runtime. WordPress 2.0.6 will be probably the last release before WordPress 2.1 comes out.

    I attempted the upgrade but having backed up mySQL databases etc and replaced all files with the 2.0.6 versions I got an error when running the upgrade script:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: attribute_escape() in /home/folder/public_html/my-blog/wp-admin/upgrade.php on line 70

    This is the offending code:

    $goback = attribute_escape(stripslashes(wp_get_referer()));

    To get around that I used the upgrade.php file from 2.0.5 which “worked” but Dashboard tells me I’m still running 2.0.5 not 6…despite all-new files.

    I’d already done the templates.php patch so maybe needn’t have bothered until things settled down. Anyone else get that error in the upgrade script?

    Thanks

    I too upgraded to 2.06 butthe one I am eagerly waiting for is 2.1, hopefully being a major release it should have some killer visual enhancements, integrating the WordPress Shuttle | Administration Redesign Project would suffice (almost). If anyone knows of any similar Admin Themes (not WP Tiger Admin Theme), pl. do post back.

    I guess I should upgrade. Any idea what the security fix is, or do they not want people to exploit the many blogs that are still running old versions?

    If you’d upgraded from previous version to 2.0.6, you can upgrade (again) to 2.0.7 by uploading and replacing just a half dozen files rather than the whole schebang

    http://wordpress.org/download/

    these are the replaced files
    * wp-admin/inline-uploading.php
    * wp-admin/post.php
    * wp-includes/classes.php
    * wp-includes/functions.php
    * wp-settings.php
    * wp-includes/version.php

    like Wordpress says, it sucks to have another upgrade so soon after the last, and no doubt there will be at least one more before we see ver 2.1. Oh well.
