WordPress 2.5.1 Released Security Issues And Other Fixes

WordPress 2.5.1 is already been released and is out now. It has an important security fix that is not been exposed yet but it it will most likely be found soon enough.

Other fixes include the media uploader that has been the cause for many a blogger to revert back to previous versions. I haven’t encountered any of the reported issues on my test blog running 2.5 and I normally don’t encourage upgrading WordPress but in this case if you are running version 2.5 and like it you might want to. You can grab it at WordPress.org.
