WordPress is Secure Blogging Thursday 2007-02-22

There is high security awareness in the team developing WordPress. Today, the 30 days new 2.1 version is getting a maintenance upgrade to 2.1.1, mainly containing smaller bug fixes, but also some security measures. For the earlier 2.0 version, which had its latest maintenance as 2.0.7 at the same time, there’s now a 2.0.9 security upgrade.

It’s really nice to be in good hands,and whether you took the bold step from WP 2.0 to the famed 2.1 or stayed with the 2.0, you should take the new face lift.
Just make sure you select the correct upgrade.

Next Sandy 3D Beta Monday 2007-02-12

Deeply involved as I am for the time being, I had the pleasure tonight to release the next and seemingly greater version of the Sandy 3D library. I have done nothing to improve the library, the version being Sandy 1.2 beta 2 for AS2, credits go fully to the smart and knowledgeable developers of Sandy – you know who you are, and I bow to thee ;)

It’s only in the power of my time zone and my working schedule, that I was delegated the launch of this version.
Hopefully it will be faster and more consistent and hopefully we will get comments and bug reports to be able to release the final stable 1.2.

The brain trust is already working hard to get an AS3 version out, and I know they find it well overdue to do so. As the the head dev and owner himself put it the other day:”The future is already here”, and indeed it is. The flash 9 Player and the Flex framework is pushed forward, and the OOP developers shakes by eager anticipation of all the good things the Flash 9 engine will bring.

At the Sandy camp we always look ahead of everything and everyone else, so we are impatient to hear from Adobe, that the Flash rendering engine will support/rely on Open GL and/or DirectX. We can do that, as we are not responsible for the implementation and throw the whole responsibility on the Adobe Macromedians. It’s just a simple demand, and if they meet that, we don’t have to optimize so heavy.

For now, get the Sandy 1.2 beta for AS2 from the Sandy forum.
