This is a security and maintenance release for all versions since WordPress 3.7﻿. We strongly encourage you to update your sites immediately.    An XSS vulnerability was discovered in the Flash fallback files in MediaElement, a library that is included with WordPress. Because the Flash files are no longer needed for most use cases, they have been removed from WordPress.    MediaElement has released a new version that contains a fix for the bug, and a WordPress plugin containing the fixed files is available in the plugin repository.    Thank you to the reporters of this issue for practicing responsible security disclosure: Enguerran Gillier and Widiz﻿.    21 other bugs were fixed in WordPress 4.9.2. Particularly of note were:         JavaScript errors that prevented saving posts in Firefox have been fixed.     The previous taxonomy-agnostic behavior of get_category_link() and category_description() was restored.     Switching themes will now attempt to restore previous widget assignments, even when there are no sidebars to map.     The Codex has more information about all of the issues fixed in 4.9.2, if you&#039;d like to learn more.    ﻿Download WordPress 4.9.2 or venture over to Dashboard → Updates and click &quot;Update Now.&quot; Sites that support automatic background updates are already beginning to update automatically.

Accessibility, keyboard navigation, and the ability to drag-and-drop multiple images to the Gallery block are among the improvements listed.    Clicking the Publish button displays options in the sidebar rather than a drop-down menu to add polish to the publishing flow.         Publish Button Options In The Sidebar     The Table of Contents has been redesigned to increase readability and copying and pasting has also significantly improved.     Gutenberg 2.0 covers a lot of ground and the changes are too numerous to list here. However, Matias Ventura does a great job listing the changes with links to Pull Requests on GitHub where people can see how they were made.    If you haven&#039;t tried or tested Gutenberg, now is a great time to check it out.'>WPTavern: Gutenberg 2.0 Released With Numerous Accessibility and Keyboard Navigation Improvements</a></li><li><a class='rsswidget' href='https://ma.tt/2018/01/thirty-four/' title='I am very thankful and grateful to have made it through the past year, which was a really special one personally and professionally. I learned to open myself up more to relationships, continued aspiring to be clear and direct with yellow arrows, and worked alongside some incredible people to tackle the biggest and hardest problems, whether it was getting plugin and theme support on WP.com or the start and growth of Gutenberg.    I read a lot more books, traveled 337k miles between 91 cities, spent more time in Texas, kept my health in a good balance with weight training, running, and a better diet including several months of 16/8 intermittent fasting, while still getting in some excellent meals with friends and loved ones (up to 58% of top 50 list). As I&#039;m solidly in my mid-thirties now, and I want to continue to live by: all things in moderation. I consider what I do with WordPress and Automattic my life&#039;s work, and hope to continue it as long as I&#039;m useful. Some days I pinch myself.    Thank you to all of you on this journey with me. I am imperfect but trying my darndest, and I&#039;m lucky to have friends and colleagues doing the same.
