If you are interested only in the security fixes, you can download these corrected copies of <a href=\"http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.1/wp-includes/pluggable.php?format=raw\">wp-includes/pluggable.php</a>, <a href=\"http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.1/wp-admin/includes/media.php?format=raw\">wp-admin/includes/media.php</a>, and <a href=\"http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.1/wp-admin/media.php?format=raw\">wp-admin/media.php</a>.

Here are some highlights:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Performance improvements for the Dashboard, Write Post, and Edit Comments pages.</li>\n<li>Better performance for those who have many categories</li>\n<li>Media Uploader fixes</li>\n<li>An upgrade to TinyMCE 3.0.7</li>\n<li>Widget Administration fixes</li>\n<li>Various usability improvements</li>\n<li>Layout fixes for IE</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Secret lives of blogs</h3>\n<p>Since 2.5 your <code>wp-config.php</code> file allows a new constant called <code>SECRET_KEY</code> which basically is meant to introduce a little permanent randomness into the cryptographic functions used for cookies in WordPress. You can <a href=\"http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.0/\">visit this link we set up to get a unique secret key</a> for your config file. (It&#8217;s unique and random on every page load.)

Now we take that to the next logical step &#8212; downloading and installing the upgrade for you. This is dependent a little bit on your host setup, and it may ask you for your FTP password much like OS X or Windows will ask you for a password, but it works well on majority of hosts we were able to test, your mileage may very, plugins in mirror may be larger than they appear.</p>\n<p><strong>Friendlier visual post editor</strong> &#8212; I&#8217;m not sure how to articulate this improvement except to say &#8220;it doesn&#8217;t mess with your code anymore.&#8221; We&#8217;re now using version 3.0 of TinyMCE, which means better compatibility with Safari, and we&#8217;ve paid particular attention this release to its integration and interaction with complex HTML. It also now has a &#8220;no-distractions&#8221; mode which is like Writeroom for your browser.</p>\n<p><strong>Built-in galleries</strong> &#8212; when you take advantage of multi-file upload to upload a bunch of photos, we have a new shortcode that lets you to easily embed galleries by just putting [ gallery] (without the space) in your post. It&#8217;ll display all your thumbnails and captions and each will link each to a page where people can comment on the individual photos. I&#8217;ve been using this feature on my blog and have already uploaded over <a href=\"http://ma.tt/category/gallery/\">1,200 pictures into 23 galleries</a>. The shortcode has some hidden options too, <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_the_gallery_shortcode\">check out this documentation</a>.</p>\n<h3>Developer Features</h3>\n<p>Now for the geeky stuff. While we&#8217;re excited about the above features, each one represents a new opportunity or API for other developers to take to another level. (The best of which we&#8217;ll someday integrate back into WP.)</p>\n<p><strong>Salted passwords</strong> &#8212; we now use the <a href=\"http://www.openwall.com/phpass/\">phpass</a> library to stretch and salt all passwords stored in the database, which makes brute-forcing them impractical. If you use something like <a href=\"http://modauthmysql.sourceforge.net/\">mod_auth_mysql</a> we&#8217;ve <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/md5-password-hashes/\">created a plugin that will allow you to use legacy MD5 hashing</a>. (The hashing is completely pluggable.) Users will automatically switch to the more secure passwords next time they log in.</p>\n<p><strong>Secure cookies</strong> &#8212; cookies are now encrypted based on the protocol described <a href=\"http://www.cse.msu.edu/~alexliu/publications/Cookie/cookie.pdf\">in this PDF paper</a>. which is something like <code>user name|expiration time|HMAC( user name|expiration time, k)</code> where <code>k = HMAC(user name|expiration time, sk)</code> and where <code>sk</code> is a secret key, which you can define in your config.</p>\n<p><strong>Easy taxonomy and URL creation</strong> &#8212; probably best illustrated with an example: I can call <code>register_taxonomy()</code> with <a href=\"http://trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/6357/taxes.php\">a few arguments</a> to register a &#8220;people&#8221; taxonomy and whenever I edit an image I&#8217;ll see a UI like tags has for identifying the people in a photo, and these will be URL addressable with <code>/person/firstname-lastname/</code>. All with a single function call.</p>\n<p><strong>Inline documentation</strong> &#8212; the vast majority of the new code going into WordPress include inline documentation that explains the functions and documents their arguments.</p>\n<p><strong>Database optimization</strong> &#8212; we haven&#8217;t changed the table layout in this release, which is one of the reasons so many plugins work fine with 2.5. We have added a few new indicies and made a few default fields more flexible based on some bottlenecks we found on WordPress.com, which now hosts 2.7 million WordPress blogs. It should be invisible to the application, just a bit faster on the database side.</p>\n<p><strong>$wpdb->prepare()</strong> &#8212; now almost all of the SQL in WordPress is prepared first, and the same functions are available to your plugins. This should prevent elementary SQL escaping issues.</p>\n<p><strong>Media buttons</strong> &#8212; the add media buttons above the post are both expandable, so you could have an &#8220;Add Google Map&#8221; button if you like, They can be overridden, so if you think you can do the video or audio tab better than we have you can replace the default.</p>\n<p><strong>Shortcode API</strong> &#8212; the new gallery functionality is powered by the new shortcode API. Shortcodes are little bracket-delineated strings that can be magically expanded at runtime to something more interesting. They give users a short, easy to type and copy/paste string they can move around their post without worrying about messing up complex HTML or embed codes. <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API\">The Shortcode API is fully documented</a>.</p>\n<p>Now you see why 2.5 took a little extra time. <img src=\'http://wordpress.org/development/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif\' alt=\':)\' class=\'wp-smiley\' /> </p>\n<h3>Upgrade Notes</h3>\n<p>2.5 does include security fixes so it is recommended for all users, the 2.3 branch will no longer be updated. <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress\">The upgrade instructions for this version are pretty much the same as any other version</a>. The most important thing to check is your plugins, so if for example everything works except the new uploader, a legacy plugin might be causing a javascript error on the page and breaking it. If something goes wrong, the safest thing to do is turn your plugins off (we have a button to do them all at once, now) and turn them back on one-by-one, testing the problem along the way. This has solved almost everybody&#8217;s problems in testing, and it also lets you know which plugin author to show some love to so they&#8217;ll update their plugin, and which plugin authors already have so you can shower them with praises on your blog.</p>\n<p>One brief note about some of the new upload and plugin upgrade features, there are some edge-case hosting platforms, like versions of Lighttpd before 1.5 or over-agressive mod_security rules, which can break. If something isn&#8217;t working like it was looked in the screenshot, ask your host if there&#8217;s something on the server side which may be interfering. Hosts, feel free to join and post to <a href=\"http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers\">our wp-testers mailing list</a> if you have an environment that requires some extra code to work around. We&#8217;d be happy to include it in the next update.</p>\n<p><em>Quick tip:</em> in 2.5 you click the name of things to edit them, like your username to edit your profile or the title of a post to edit it.</p>\n<h3>The Community is Growing</h3>\n<p>More than growing, it&#8217;s on fire. We always talk about things like downloads, and the 2.3 branch has already had <strong>1.92 million downloads</strong> as I write this post, but this time we have some far more interesting information I&#8217;d like to share.</p>\n<p>There were over 1,200 commits to our repository since 2.3.0 and <strong>over 90 people were credited</strong> in them. This means in our core code, not plugins, there were at least 90 individual folks that contributed something high-quality enough that it made the cut to be part of the download you guys get today. I had no idea this group of people was so large.</p>\n<p>Outside of the <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/about/\">core commit team</a>, there was particular help from these people, in rough order of number of credits and tickets: <a href=\"http://blogwaffe.com/\">mdawaffe (Michael Adams)</a>, <a href=\"http://www.laptoptips.ca/\">azaozz (Andrew Ozz)</a>, <a href=\"http://nb.niichavo.org/\">nbachiyski (Nikolay Bachiyski)</a>, <a href=\"http://skeltoac.com/\">andy (Andy Skelton)</a>, <a href=\"http://iammattthomas.com/\">iammattthomas (Matt Thomas)</a>, <a href=\"http://thresholdstate.com/\">tellyworth (Alex Shiels)</a>, <a href=\"http://joseph.randomnetworks.com/\">josephscott (Joseph Scott)</a>, <a href=\"http://foolswisdom.com/\">lloydbudd (Lloyd Budd)</a>, <a href=\"http://dd32.id.au/\">DD32 (Dion)</a>, <a href=\"http://www.ilfilosofo.com/\">filosofo (Austin Matzko)</a>, <a href=\"http://engel.uk.to/\">hansengel (Hans Engel)</a>, <a href=\"http://www.freecharity.org.uk/\">pishmishy</a>, ffemtcj, <a href=\"http://www.viper007bond.com/\">Viper007Bond</a>, <a href=\"http://extralogical.net/\">ionfish (Benedict Eastaugh)</a>, <a href=\"http://www.poplarware.com/\">jhodgdon (Jennifer Hodgdon)</a>, <a href=\"http://ottodestruct.com/blog/\">Otto42</a>, <a href=\"http://www.cefm.ca/\">thee17 (Charles E.

Also want to thank MichaelH and Lorelle on the documentation side, and moshu, Kafkaesqui, whooami, MichaelH, Otto42, and jeremyclark13 for helping with support.</p>\n<p>The 2.5 branch is nicknamed &#8220;Brecker&#8221; in honor of <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Brecker\">Michael Brecker</a>, an exceptionally talented saxophonist who could cross styles effortlessly and never stopped experimenting and pushing himself until he passed away last year.</p>\n<h3>New WordPress.org</h3>\n<p>All of this wasn&#8217;t enough, so in our copious spare time we decided to redesign WordPress.org to better match the aesthetics of the new dashboard and also to spruce up a few areas that needed lovin&#8217;. Some parts of the site, like the Codex, might show the old style for a day or two. We know, just give us a bit of time. Thanks to <a href=\"http://iammattthomas.com/\">Matt Thomas</a> for his epic effort in designing and coding the new site.</p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s Next</h3>\n<p>As always with WordPress, we don&#8217;t claim any of these features to be perfect, or to be better than everyone else in the world, but they are done by and for the people and the one thing we do promise is that with every release we listen and do our best to improve. </p>\n<p>2.5 is a major milestone for WordPress not because it added dozens of user-requested features, but because it reaffirms that we&#8217;re as passionate about blogging as the day we started. Our community is too fierce to rest on its laurels &#8212; contrary to what pundits claim, blogging is far from &#8220;finished&#8221; and every improvement just whets our appetite for more. And more is coming.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a good thing WordPress doesn&#8217;t limit the length of posts, because this one would have hit it. If you made it this far, thanks for sharing a bit of your day with us. I sincerely hope this new version of WordPress helps you do what you love to do.</p>\n\";}s:3:\"wfw\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentrss\";s:67:\"http://wordpress.org/development/2008/03/wordpress-25-brecker/feed/\";}s:7:\"summary\";s:391:\"WordPress 2.5, the culmination of six months of work by the WordPress community, people just like you.

(The best of which we&#8217;ll someday integrate back into WP.)</p>\n<p><strong>Salted passwords</strong> &#8212; we now use the <a href=\"http://www.openwall.com/phpass/\">phpass</a> library to stretch and salt all passwords stored in the database, which makes brute-forcing them impractical. If you use something like <a href=\"http://modauthmysql.sourceforge.net/\">mod_auth_mysql</a> we&#8217;ve <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/md5-password-hashes/\">created a plugin that will allow you to use legacy MD5 hashing</a>. (The hashing is completely pluggable.) Users will automatically switch to the more secure passwords next time they log in.</p>\n<p><strong>Secure cookies</strong> &#8212; cookies are now encrypted based on the protocol described <a href=\"http://www.cse.msu.edu/~alexliu/publications/Cookie/cookie.pdf\">in this PDF paper</a>. which is something like <code>user name|expiration time|HMAC( user name|expiration time, k)</code> where <code>k = HMAC(user name|expiration time, sk)</code> and where <code>sk</code> is a secret key, which you can define in your config.</p>\n<p><strong>Easy taxonomy and URL creation</strong> &#8212; probably best illustrated with an example: I can call <code>register_taxonomy()</code> with <a href=\"http://trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/6357/taxes.php\">a few arguments</a> to register a &#8220;people&#8221; taxonomy and whenever I edit an image I&#8217;ll see a UI like tags has for identifying the people in a photo, and these will be URL addressable with <code>/person/firstname-lastname/</code>. All with a single function call.</p>\n<p><strong>Inline documentation</strong> &#8212; the vast majority of the new code going into WordPress include inline documentation that explains the functions and documents their arguments.</p>\n<p><strong>Database optimization</strong> &#8212; we haven&#8217;t changed the table layout in this release, which is one of the reasons so many plugins work fine with 2.5. We have added a few new indicies and made a few default fields more flexible based on some bottlenecks we found on WordPress.com, which now hosts 2.7 million WordPress blogs. It should be invisible to the application, just a bit faster on the database side.</p>\n<p><strong>$wpdb->prepare()</strong> &#8212; now almost all of the SQL in WordPress is prepared first, and the same functions are available to your plugins. This should prevent elementary SQL escaping issues.</p>\n<p><strong>Media buttons</strong> &#8212; the add media buttons above the post are both expandable, so you could have an &#8220;Add Google Map&#8221; button if you like, They can be overridden, so if you think you can do the video or audio tab better than we have you can replace the default.</p>\n<p><strong>Shortcode API</strong> &#8212; the new gallery functionality is powered by the new shortcode API. Shortcodes are little bracket-delineated strings that can be magically expanded at runtime to something more interesting. They give users a short, easy to type and copy/paste string they can move around their post without worrying about messing up complex HTML or embed codes. <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API\">The Shortcode API is fully documented</a>.</p>\n<p>Now you see why 2.5 took a little extra time. <img src=\'http://wordpress.org/development/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif\' alt=\':)\' class=\'wp-smiley\' /> </p>\n<h3>Upgrade Notes</h3>\n<p>2.5 does include security fixes so it is recommended for all users, the 2.3 branch will no longer be updated. <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress\">The upgrade instructions for this version are pretty much the same as any other version</a>. The most important thing to check is your plugins, so if for example everything works except the new uploader, a legacy plugin might be causing a javascript error on the page and breaking it. If something goes wrong, the safest thing to do is turn your plugins off (we have a button to do them all at once, now) and turn them back on one-by-one, testing the problem along the way. This has solved almost everybody&#8217;s problems in testing, and it also lets you know which plugin author to show some love to so they&#8217;ll update their plugin, and which plugin authors already have so you can shower them with praises on your blog.</p>\n<p>One brief note about some of the new upload and plugin upgrade features, there are some edge-case hosting platforms, like versions of Lighttpd before 1.5 or over-agressive mod_security rules, which can break. If something isn&#8217;t working like it was looked in the screenshot, ask your host if there&#8217;s something on the server side which may be interfering. Hosts, feel free to join and post to <a href=\"http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers\">our wp-testers mailing list</a> if you have an environment that requires some extra code to work around. We&#8217;d be happy to include it in the next update.</p>\n<p><em>Quick tip:</em> in 2.5 you click the name of things to edit them, like your username to edit your profile or the title of a post to edit it.</p>\n<h3>The Community is Growing</h3>\n<p>More than growing, it&#8217;s on fire. We always talk about things like downloads, and the 2.3 branch has already had <strong>1.92 million downloads</strong> as I write this post, but this time we have some far more interesting information I&#8217;d like to share.</p>\n<p>There were over 1,200 commits to our repository since 2.3.0 and <strong>over 90 people were credited</strong> in them. This means in our core code, not plugins, there were at least 90 individual folks that contributed something high-quality enough that it made the cut to be part of the download you guys get today. I had no idea this group of people was so large.</p>\n<p>Outside of the <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/about/\">core commit team</a>, there was particular help from these people, in rough order of number of credits and tickets: <a href=\"http://blogwaffe.com/\">mdawaffe (Michael Adams)</a>, <a href=\"http://www.laptoptips.ca/\">azaozz (Andrew Ozz)</a>, <a href=\"http://nb.niichavo.org/\">nbachiyski (Nikolay Bachiyski)</a>, <a href=\"http://skeltoac.com/\">andy (Andy Skelton)</a>, <a href=\"http://iammattthomas.com/\">iammattthomas (Matt Thomas)</a>, <a href=\"http://thresholdstate.com/\">tellyworth (Alex Shiels)</a>, <a href=\"http://joseph.randomnetworks.com/\">josephscott (Joseph Scott)</a>, <a href=\"http://foolswisdom.com/\">lloydbudd (Lloyd Budd)</a>, <a href=\"http://dd32.id.au/\">DD32 (Dion)</a>, <a href=\"http://www.ilfilosofo.com/\">filosofo (Austin Matzko)</a>, <a href=\"http://engel.uk.to/\">hansengel (Hans Engel)</a>, <a href=\"http://www.freecharity.org.uk/\">pishmishy</a>, ffemtcj, <a href=\"http://www.viper007bond.com/\">Viper007Bond</a>, <a href=\"http://extralogical.net/\">ionfish (Benedict Eastaugh)</a>, <a href=\"http://www.poplarware.com/\">jhodgdon (Jennifer Hodgdon)</a>, <a href=\"http://ottodestruct.com/blog/\">Otto42</a>, <a href=\"http://www.cefm.ca/\">thee17 (Charles E. Free-Melvin)</a>, and <a href=\"http://www.buayacorp.com/\">xknown</a>. Also want to thank MichaelH and Lorelle on the documentation side, and moshu, Kafkaesqui, whooami, MichaelH, Otto42, and jeremyclark13 for helping with support.</p>\n<p>The 2.5 branch is nicknamed &#8220;Brecker&#8221; in honor of <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Brecker\">Michael Brecker</a>, an exceptionally talented saxophonist who could cross styles effortlessly and never stopped experimenting and pushing himself until he passed away last year.</p>\n<h3>New WordPress.org</h3>\n<p>All of this wasn&#8217;t enough, so in our copious spare time we decided to redesign WordPress.org to better match the aesthetics of the new dashboard and also to spruce up a few areas that needed lovin&#8217;. Some parts of the site, like the Codex, might show the old style for a day or two. We know, just give us a bit of time. Thanks to <a href=\"http://iammattthomas.com/\">Matt Thomas</a> for his epic effort in designing and coding the new site.</p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s Next</h3>\n<p>As always with WordPress, we don&#8217;t claim any of these features to be perfect, or to be better than everyone else in the world, but they are done by and for the people and the one thing we do promise is that with every release we listen and do our best to improve. </p>\n<p>2.5 is a major milestone for WordPress not because it added dozens of user-requested features, but because it reaffirms that we&#8217;re as passionate about blogging as the day we started. Our community is too fierce to rest on its laurels &#8212; contrary to what pundits claim, blogging is far from &#8220;finished&#8221; and every improvement just whets our appetite for more. And more is coming.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a good thing WordPress doesn&#8217;t limit the length of posts, because this one would have hit it. If you made it this far, thanks for sharing a bit of your day with us. I sincerely hope this new version of WordPress helps you do what you love to do.</p>\n\";}i:4;a:12:{s:5:\"title\";s:32:\"Screencast and WordPress 2.5 RC2\";s:4:\"link\";s:58:\"http://wordpress.org/development/2008/03/wordpress-25-rc2/\";s:8:\"comments\";s:67:\"http://wordpress.org/development/2008/03/wordpress-25-rc2/#comments\";s:7:\"pubdate\";s:31:\"Wed, 26 Mar 2008 11:36:25 +0000\";s:2:\"dc\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";s:4:\"Matt\";}s:8:\"category\";s:11:\"Development\";s:4:\"guid\";s:39:\"http://wordpress.org/development/?p=227\";s:11:\"description\";s:334:\"2.5 is coming along thanks to the fantastic feedback you guys provided on RC1 (over 580 pingbacks and counting), and we&#8217;re now ready to show you a bit more of a peek with a short screencast covering the new dashboard and uploader and Release Candidate 2.

It&#8217;s been in the oven for a while, and we&#8217;re finally ready to open the doors a bit to give you a taste.</p>\n<p>For the past few months, we’ve been working with our friends at Happy Cog &#8212; <a href=\"http://zeldman.com/\">Jeffrey Zeldman</a>, <a href=\"http://jasonsantamaria.com/\">Jason Santa Maria</a>, and <a href=\"http://bobulate.com/\">Liz Danzico</a> &#8212; to redesign WordPress from the ground-up. The result is a new way of interacting with WordPress that will remain familiar to seasoned users while improving the experience for everyone. This isn’t just a fresh coat of paint &#8212; we’ve re-thought the look of WordPress, as well as how it’s organized so that you can forget about the software and focus on your own creative pursuits.</p>\n<p>Here are a few vignettes of what&#8217;s in store.</p>\n<h3>The Dashboard</h3>\n<p class=\"tutscreen\"><img src=\"http://wpcom.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/dashboard-wide.png\" alt=\"dashboard-wide.png\" /></p>\n<p>The Dashboard’s most important role is to inform quickly and get you to where you’re headed in the admin. In interviewing users, we found that most of you ignore the Dashboard entirely &#8212; its useful information being mostly hidden in an overly complex design. The new Dashboard is focused on the most relevant tasks at hand: a quick summary of what’s published and scheduled for publication, the latest comments and incoming links, blog stats, and WordPress updates and news. You can add your own RSS feeds and edit the way information is presented so that the new Dashboard conforms to the way you use WordPress.</p>\n<h3>Navigation</h3>\n<p class=\"tutscreen\"><img src=\"http://wpcom.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/nav-wide.png\" alt=\"nav-wide.png\" /></p>\n<p>The WordPress navigation has confounded even sophisticated users. With the new design, we’ve cut the number of navigation options in half, separating the primary functions (writing, managing posts and pages, editing the blog’s design, and managing comments) from secondary functions. This presents information at a more comfortable pace, revealing only the information that’s necessary. Everything you need is still there &#8212; just better organized. (Especially for people new to WP.)</p>\n<h3>Write</h3>\n<p class=\"tutscreen\"><img src=\"http://wpcom.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/write-wide.png\" alt=\"write-wide.png\" /></p>\n<p><img class=\"right\" src=\"http://wpcom.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/write3.png\" alt=\"write2.png\" /></p>\n<p>By far, the most frequently accessed part of WordPress is the Write screen. It gets the job done, but its myriad options can be overwhelming. The new write screen only displays the information that you’ll use most often. It displays the most common fields in a way that makes posting incredibly easy. Additional options are hidden away until you need them. The new Write screen anticipates the natural flow of the way you write, and is smart enough to remember the way you left it so that your preferred writing environment is always quickly available. The new visual editor even has a handy full-screen mode to help block out distractions while composing your newest post. (My personal favorite new feature.)</p>\n<h3>Manage</h3>\n<p class=\"tutscreen\"><img src=\"http://wpcom.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/manage-wide.png\" alt=\"\" /></p>\n<p><img class=\"right\" src=\"http://wpcom.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/manage.png\" alt=\"\" /></p>\n<p>The Manage screens have been redesigned and unified so that now, managing your pages, posts, media, and comments all use similar, consistent interfaces. We’ve omitted superfluous information and made what’s important faster to find. We believe these changes will make you a faster, more proficient blogger.</p>\n<p>You might also notice there are some new colors, the dashboard feels much fresher and lighter. If you&#8217;re jonesing for the old look under your user options you can now select the &#8220;classic&#8221; colors and get those old blues back. (It&#8217;s also pluggable so people can easily add or share their own color schemes.)</p>\n<p>If you make frequent backups and you&#8217;re interested in helping us out with development by testing the new code, <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.5-RC1.zip\">download</a> and install <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.5-RC1.zip\">Release Candidate 1</a> of WordPress 2.5, and <a href=\"http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers\">join our testers mailing list</a> to report any bugs you find in the code.</p>\n<p>We&#8217;re also interested in feedback on the new interface and would love to hear your opinions, thoughts, rants, raves, and anything in between. We created a special email address just for the occasion: <a href=\"mailto:2.5-feedback@wordpress.org\">2.5-feedback@wordpress.org</a>.</p>\n<p>The software is basically done and stable, and could be released today, but we&#8217;d like to incorporate feedback from a wider audience before making it available to the general public.

We believe these changes will make you a faster, more proficient blogger.</p>\n<p>You might also notice there are some new colors, the dashboard feels much fresher and lighter. If you&#8217;re jonesing for the old look under your user options you can now select the &#8220;classic&#8221; colors and get those old blues back. (It&#8217;s also pluggable so people can easily add or share their own color schemes.)</p>\n<p>If you make frequent backups and you&#8217;re interested in helping us out with development by testing the new code, <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.5-RC1.zip\">download</a> and install <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.5-RC1.zip\">Release Candidate 1</a> of WordPress 2.5, and <a href=\"http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers\">join our testers mailing list</a> to report any bugs you find in the code.</p>\n<p>We&#8217;re also interested in feedback on the new interface and would love to hear your opinions, thoughts, rants, raves, and anything in between. We created a special email address just for the occasion: <a href=\"mailto:2.5-feedback@wordpress.org\">2.5-feedback@wordpress.org</a>.</p>\n<p>The software is basically done and stable, and could be released today, but we&#8217;d like to incorporate feedback from a wider audience before making it available to the general public. After a few days of your feedback we&#8217;ll set a final release date. Personally, I can&#8217;t wait. <img src=\'http://wordpress.org/development/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif\' alt=\':)\' class=\'wp-smiley\' /></p>\n\";}i:6;a:12:{s:5:\"title\";s:15:\"WordPress 2.3.3\";s:4:\"link\";s:55:\"http://wordpress.org/development/2008/02/wordpress-233/\";s:8:\"comments\";s:64:\"http://wordpress.org/development/2008/02/wordpress-233/#comments\";s:7:\"pubdate\";s:31:\"Tue, 05 Feb 2008 05:02:45 +0000\";s:2:\"dc\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";s:4:\"Ryan\";}s:8:\"category\";s:11:\"Development\";s:4:\"guid\";s:39:\"http://wordpress.org/development/?p=225\";s:11:\"description\";s:307:\"WordPress 2.3.3 is an urgent security release.

There is a huge perception today that WordPress is a security risk. This is not true. </p>\n<p>As Matt discussed, fears of SQL server vulnerabilities and other security issues have gotten out of control, for WordPress as well as other open source and proprietary programs, which he likened to  &#8220;running into a crowded theatre and yell &#8216;fire&#8217; and the less basis there is in fact the more people link to them. It’s not uncommon to see crying-wolf reports like the above several times in a week&#8230;&#8221; </p>\n<p><a href=\"http://blogs.technet.com/security/archive/2008/03/05/sql-server-fact-checking-recent-vulnerability-history.aspx\" title=\"SQL Server - Fact Checking Recent Vulnerability History\">Jeff Jones, a software security expert, dug into the history of a recent SQL server</a> issue and reported:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Last week a web-based news story comes to my attention which asserted that last year SQL Server had &#8220;&#8230;most vulnerabilities last year of any commercial database&#8230;&#8221; That prompted me to do some fact checking and I thought it worth documenting the real (really good) story of SQL vulnerabilities and what commercial database had the most vulnerabilities last year&#8230;</p>\n<p>So. One thing is clear from the rudimentary investigation I&#8217;ve performed here - SQL Server was not even close to having the most vulnerabilities last year of any commercial database.</p>\n<p>In fact, though SQL 2000 Server may have had a rough track record up through 2003, the SQL team has certainly turned a corner since then and SQL Server 2005 has had one of the best security track records of any commercial database ever.</p></blockquote>\n<p>In a report on his <a href=\"http://blogs.csoonline.com/blog/jeff_jones\" title=\"Jeff Jones\' Security Blog\">Security Blog</a>, <a href=\"http://blogs.technet.com/security/attachment/2594822.ashx\" title=\"Internet Explorer and Firefox Vulnerability Analysis (pdf)\">Internet Explorer and Firefox Vulnerability Analysis (pdf)</a>, Jones reported that <a href=\"http://www.mozilla.org/\" title=\"Firefox Web Browser\" rel=\"tag\">FireFox</a> has had more security vulnerabilities than Internet Explorer, even though it is a widely held belief that FireFox is the &#8220;better&#8221; browser. </p>\n<p>When a security issue came up with <a href=\"http://www.wordpress.com/\" title=\"WordPress.com free blogs\" rel=\"tag\">WordPress.com</a>, it was fixed within 10 minutes of being reported. Yet, the news spread around for days that WordPress.com was a security risk.</p>\n<p>Perception is everything. In another report and analysis, <a href=\"http://blogs.technet.com/security/archive/2007/10/23/microsoft-security-intelligence-report-1st-half-2007.aspx\" title=\"Microsoft Security Intelligence Report - 1st Half 2007\">Jeff Jones reports on the increasing number of disclosures</a> influencing the perception of security issues and vulnerabilities as they catch the public eye.<br />\n<span id=\"more-2507\"></span></p>\n<blockquote><p>The number of disclosures of new software vulnerabilities across the industry continues<br />\nto be in the thousands, with more than 3,400 new vulnerabilities disclosed in 1H07 [first half of 2007]. But this number actually represents a decrease from 2H06, the first period-to-period decline in total vulnerabilities since 2003. </p>\n<p>There are a couple of other interesting results that I want to call out that you should examine with more detail in the full report:</p>\n<p>  * Social engineering plays a growing role in overall malware attack techniques. This is a key result since even with vulnerability-free software, these techniques could succeed against users of any platform.<br />\n  * Windows Defender has proportionally detected 2.8 times less potentially unwanted software on computers running Windows Vista than on computers running Windows XP SP2, based on normalized data. This is a practical measure of benefit that is somewhat more valuable in my opinion than vulnerability comparisons.</p></blockquote>\n<p>As Matt said, the more sensational and invalid the security scare, the more likely it is to be spread in this age of social networking where anyone can have their say and link. Even sites with few security problems quickly get a bad reputation.

There is a huge perception today that WordPress is a security risk. This is not true. </p>\n<p>As Matt discussed, fears of SQL server vulnerabilities and other security issues have gotten out of control, for WordPress as well as other open source and proprietary programs, which he likened to  &#8220;running into a crowded theatre and yell &#8216;fire&#8217; and the less basis there is in fact the more people link to them. It’s not uncommon to see crying-wolf reports like the above several times in a week&#8230;&#8221; </p>\n<p><a href=\"http://blogs.technet.com/security/archive/2008/03/05/sql-server-fact-checking-recent-vulnerability-history.aspx\" title=\"SQL Server - Fact Checking Recent Vulnerability History\">Jeff Jones, a software security expert, dug into the history of a recent SQL server</a> issue and reported:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Last week a web-based news story comes to my attention which asserted that last year SQL Server had &#8220;&#8230;most vulnerabilities last year of any commercial database&#8230;&#8221; That prompted me to do some fact checking and I thought it worth documenting the real (really good) story of SQL vulnerabilities and what commercial database had the most vulnerabilities last year&#8230;</p>\n<p>So. One thing is clear from the rudimentary investigation I&#8217;ve performed here - SQL Server was not even close to having the most vulnerabilities last year of any commercial database.</p>\n<p>In fact, though SQL 2000 Server may have had a rough track record up through 2003, the SQL team has certainly turned a corner since then and SQL Server 2005 has had one of the best security track records of any commercial database ever.</p></blockquote>\n<p>In a report on his <a href=\"http://blogs.csoonline.com/blog/jeff_jones\" title=\"Jeff Jones\' Security Blog\">Security Blog</a>, <a href=\"http://blogs.technet.com/security/attachment/2594822.ashx\" title=\"Internet Explorer and Firefox Vulnerability Analysis (pdf)\">Internet Explorer and Firefox Vulnerability Analysis (pdf)</a>, Jones reported that <a href=\"http://www.mozilla.org/\" title=\"Firefox Web Browser\" rel=\"tag\">FireFox</a> has had more security vulnerabilities than Internet Explorer, even though it is a widely held belief that FireFox is the &#8220;better&#8221; browser. </p>\n<p>When a security issue came up with <a href=\"http://www.wordpress.com/\" title=\"WordPress.com free blogs\" rel=\"tag\">WordPress.com</a>, it was fixed within 10 minutes of being reported. Yet, the news spread around for days that WordPress.com was a security risk.</p>\n<p>Perception is everything. In another report and analysis, <a href=\"http://blogs.technet.com/security/archive/2007/10/23/microsoft-security-intelligence-report-1st-half-2007.aspx\" title=\"Microsoft Security Intelligence Report - 1st Half 2007\">Jeff Jones reports on the increasing number of disclosures</a> influencing the perception of security issues and vulnerabilities as they catch the public eye.<br />\n<span id=\"more-2507\"></span></p>\n<blockquote><p>The number of disclosures of new software vulnerabilities across the industry continues<br />\nto be in the thousands, with more than 3,400 new vulnerabilities disclosed in 1H07 [first half of 2007]. But this number actually represents a decrease from 2H06, the first period-to-period decline in total vulnerabilities since 2003. </p>\n<p>There are a couple of other interesting results that I want to call out that you should examine with more detail in the full report:</p>\n<p>  * Social engineering plays a growing role in overall malware attack techniques. This is a key result since even with vulnerability-free software, these techniques could succeed against users of any platform.<br />\n  * Windows Defender has proportionally detected 2.8 times less potentially unwanted software on computers running Windows Vista than on computers running Windows XP SP2, based on normalized data. This is a practical measure of benefit that is somewhat more valuable in my opinion than vulnerability comparisons.</p></blockquote>\n<p>As Matt said, the more sensational and invalid the security scare, the more likely it is to be spread in this age of social networking where anyone can have their say and link. Even sites with few security problems quickly get a bad reputation. We need to pay attention to the serious threats so these cries of fire do not become cries of wolf. </p>\n<h3>How Vulnerable is WordPress?</h3>\n<p>So how vulnerable is WordPress compared to other blog and CMS platforms?

His talk was not on Woopra but he introduced it to the event in <a href=\"http://weblogtoolsvideos.com/item/D5HY9BGWNS7G1VCK\">a very short, three minute spiel</a>. Since then Woopra has generated a <a href=\"http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2008/03/30/whooping-woopra-blog-statistics-program/\">tremendous</a> <a href=\"http://www.woopra.com/blog/\">amount</a> of <a href=\"http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/03/30/stats-junkies-get-another-fix-woopra/\">buzz</a> in blogging circles. In short, Woopra is a stats tool for websites that lives as an application on your desktop (among other places) and can provide live webstats on your visitors. I like it since it is fast and since the developers gave me an opportunity to look at the insides early on, I have developed quite a fondness for it. They are in growth mode and with the <a href=\"http://www.woopra.com/blog/2008/04/26/woopra-beta-1110-released/\">recent upgrade to their desktop client</a>, they can support more locations and are in the process of approving a <a href=\"http://www.woopra.com/blog/2008/04/27/mass-approvals-well-under-way/\">large number of new users for their service</a>.</p>\n<p>All of that being said, with my previous knowledge of Woopra and its capabilities, I was <em>literally floored</em> this afternoon by a flood of new &#8220;stuff&#8221; that I had either completely missed or capabilities that were added in this new release. So if you are a Woopra user (or if you are not, just sign up), pull up a chair, grab a cup of your favorite beverage and read on. This is pretty cool.</p>\n<p><em>All of the following assumes that you have an active Woopra account, are using WordPress, have the WordPress plugin installed and have the Woopra application (1.1.1.0) installed on your machine.</em></p>\n<ul>\n<li>With Woopra, and the <a href=\"http://www.woopra.com/installation-guide/\">Woopra WordPress Plugin</a>, you can monitor all your registered users and all your commenters. This sounds obvious/relatively mundane until you install the plugin on your WordPress blog and create an event notification on the application. Follow the bouncing ball.\n<ul>\n<li>Open up your Woorpa application, click on the manage tab on the left and then click on Create a new Event Notification.</li>\n<li>Then type in &#8220;Known Visitors&#8221; into the label box, click Next.</li>\n<li>On the next window, click and activate the checkbox next to &#8220;Visitor is tagged or is a member&#8221; and click next until you come to the &#8220;Edit Notification&#8217;s look and feel&#8221; screen.</li>\n<li>Here click on the &#8220;Notification&#8217;s Icon&#8221; dropdown to click on &#8220;visitor&#8217;s Avatar&#8221; and then paste the following in the &#8220;Custom notification message&#8221; box: Visitor %NAME% is viewing %PAGETITLE% Then click on Apply Notification button</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Now you will receive a notification on your desktop whenever a registered user or a user who has left a comment, visits your blog. This gets even cooler when you notice their <a href=\"http://en.gravatar.com/\">gravatar</a> shows up on the notification and you are now able to track these known visitors are they traverse through your blog. You can even choose to initiate a web chat with these visitors through the Woopra application. The chat shows up on their browser. This is cool and scary at the same time.</li>\n<li>Another cool new tool I discovered today was the little map of the world on the top left corner of the &#8220;live&#8221; tab. Now I had noticed the map there but had not looked into it much. Look for a small arrow on the top right corner of that map. Once you click on that arrow, the map opens up to a full screen view and now you are able to use your mouses&#8217; scroll wheel to zoom in on any part of the map and use your cursor to identify users. I could spend hours doing this on a busy day.</li>\n<li>I had noticed the small column of labels at the top right hand corner of the Woopra desktop application but had not paid much attention to it. The lowest item on that list is called &#8220;live&#8221; and once clicked it shows the number of  users on your blog on a moving bar graph, much like whos.amung.us</li>\n<li>The analytics tab has a bunch of hidden gems. Some newer features were also added to the items on this tab. Click on the Analytics tab on the Woopra application and look for the following:\n<ul>\n<li>The &#8220;referrers&#8221; tab now has a few new subtabs. They include regular stats stuff like webpages, domains and search engines. But now this tab also include Feed Readers, Emails, Social Bookmarks, Social Networks, Media, News and Communities. Each one of these intrigued me and the I was taken aback by the breakdowns of referrals from various applications. The Email tab gave me the most food for thought. If your blog has email readers or you publish regular newletters via email, this tab could help you identify reader populations from various email services. Clicking on the graph part of the display brings up a historical view.</li>\n<li>The &#8220;pages&#8221; tab breaks up visitors by subdirectories. With WordPress&#8217; permalinks, you can now determine how hard your yearly archives are working for you. Apparently, over a thousand people looked at my archives from 2003 this week. As your data grows, this tab could contain breakdowns by tag, by author and any other permalink features that you have enabled through your blog. I wonder why our WordPress tag is so popular?</li>\n<li>The last tab to point out is &#8220;systems&#8221;. Now this data can be mundane and almost all stats programs offer some sort of systems breakdown. Woopra adds to this functionality by letting you find permutations of systems options. This blog receives more Chinese speaking, Internet Explorer 6 users on Windows XP than any other language. I will be using that information to my advantage, I am sure you can find your particular niche to help or enhance.</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Woopra is a great tool. It is even better with these little tidbits. There are literally thousands of different ways to enhance your stats and understand your reader population better.
