WordPress 2.02 Security Upgrade Friday 2006-03-10
The long foreseen WordPress 2.02 security upgrade is released. Much serious discussion and lots of pure ballony has stired up the WordPress forum and the WP mailing lists lately. Some have argued strongly that Matt comes to market with some assurances, just to calm users down and to stop the speculative attacks against WP, being unsecure.
According to release notes there obviously were some issues, kept semi secret, which are resolved in the 2.02 release.
I just upgraded using the normal upgrade route. I took a backup of the database using phpMyAdmin and also using Skippy’s backup plugin. I also copied the whole installation to my work station. Before uploading the new WP distribution, I deactivated all plugins.
Without deleting anything in my installation, I uploaded everything in the new distribution, except the wp-content directory to my blog directory, and run the upgrade.php script from my browser.
After that I activated the plugins I use, one by one.
It all went well, an I was up and running within a few minutes. Hopefully, the complaints, rants and whispers will disappear from the WP forum and other more or less serious discussing areas.
