WordPress 2.0.6 isn’t even two weeks old and we’re already hit with 2.0.7. I saw this one coming, since something went wrong with Feedburner reading RSS feeds, and bloggers lover their Feedburner. A fix was posted, but that won’t do for the majority of the WordPress users out there.
The 2.0.7 also fixes some security issues. These are the changes:
Security fix for wp_unregister_GLOBALS() to work around the zend_hash_del_key_or_index bug in PHP 4 versions less than 4.4.3 and PHP 5 versions less than 5.1.4 with register_globals set to “On.†Feeds now properly serve 304 Not Modified headers instead of mismatched 200/304 headers (a.k.a. the FeedBurner bug). Backport of another 304 Not Modified fix from WordPress 2.1 Deleting WordPress Pages no longer gives an “Are You Sure?†prompt. After deleting a WordPress Page, you are now properly redirected to the Edit Pages screen. Sending an image at original size in Internet Explorer no longer adds an incorrect “height†attribute.
The release post also reassures users that 2.1 is due out at the end of the month, but also that the 2.0 branch will be supported and maintained for years to come. That’s good, no rush updating.
