WordPress 2.3.1 now available
WordPress 2.3.1 is now available for download from the WordPress.org website. This release fixes a number of bugs and security issues. I would strongly suggest all current 2.3 version users download and update their version of WordPress.
Webcomics plugin StripShow 1.5 Final released
The “final” version of the StripShow WordPress plugin has been released. This plugin has a boatload of features that would help out any new webcomic site being developed in WordPress (comic nav arrows, RSS feed integration, file uploading, etc.). In many ways it looks like it’s compiling up many other previous plugins into one uberplugin. The developers are talking about strongly supporting this plugin so go check it out and add to the feature wishlist.
First WordPress 2.3 vulnerability found, same for earlier versions
The first WordPress 2.3 security issue has been found. It is in regard to the blogroll function in WordPress and results in unlimited spam entries being injected into your blogroll. This vulnerability is already being exploited by spammers. An explanation and a fixed file can be found here until a new point release of WordPress is available. This issue apparently also affects older versions of WordPress as well as the newest version, so pretty much anyone using the blogroll on their site should immediately address this issue.
New AWSOM Pixgallery 4.4.4 Beta released
A new beta version of the upcoming AWSOM Pixgallery 4.4.4 release is now available for download. This version adds a fix for some Javascript issues that have been reported between Pixgallery and some other plugins ( most notably the Share This plugin). To download the new beta please go to the AWSOM Pixgallery product page or use this link to directly download it. Please let me know if you still encounter any Javascript related issues or have problems with the new Absolute Linking support.
Kimili Flash Embed Plugin updated to 1.4
For those of you who have or want to use flash movies directly in your posts or pages the Kimili Flash Embed plugin for WordPress has been updated to version 1.4. Without this plugin WordPress tends to not play nice with your flash movies and simply doesn’t display them.
