Another WordPress upgrade, and it seems to have gone smoothly.
One of my sites uses a modified version of the WordPress files that control user registration, in order to allow AdSense details to be entered. I had to remember to reapply the patch to the new versions of those files.
The new version is said to contain bug fixes, security patches and minor performance enhancements. I haven’t noticed any user-visible changes.
I’ve chosen to use WordPress to power this weblog on account of its power, elegance and standards compliance.
One of the nice things about WordPress is that the author’s “dashboard” shows excerpts from the WordPress Development Blog. As soon as I installed WordPress 2.0.1 for this blog, I saw that a 2.0.2 security release had just been issued.
As the security release addressed “unannounced cross-site-scripting issues” an immediate upgrade seemed essential.
Luckily, the upgrade was painless. I just had to delete some of the WordPress files and replace them with others from the 2.0.2 distribution.
