WordPress 2.6.5 Released

Posted on November 27, 2008 by semadmin

This new version fixes one security issue and 3 bugs.

The security issue is an XSS exploit discovered by Jeremias Reith that fortunately only affects IP-based virtual servers running on Apache 2.x. If you are interested only in the security fix, copy wp-includes/feed.php and wp-includes/version.php from the 2.6.5 release package.

2.6.5 contains three other small fixes in addition to the XSS fix.Â The first prevents accidentally saving post meta information to a revision.Â The second prevents XML-RPC from fetching incorrect post types.Â The third adds some user ID sanitization during bulk delete requests.

Google unveiled another feature to the search fanatics. Google Search Wiki. With this new feature, you can personalize your search results, move or even remove a particular result, thus making it more relevant to what your looking for.

Though not yet affecting the search ranking as a whole, there’s a big possibility that in the near future, ranking in the SERPs would be affected by this feature.

Would it be good or bad? Only time will tell.
