Attention bloggers if you have manually installed WordPress then you should upgrade to 2.8.5. This upgrade has a lot of security fixes. Full details on what has been updated are here.
For those who installed WordPress with Fantastico, Netenberg usually has the upgrade released a week or two later. We do post Fantastico updates on the blog so keep an eye open for that.
Please also note we will post when it is time for Managed Blog hosting customers to upgrade in this blog.

I don’t understand why they released the new version so quickly after the last update 2 months ago.
I don’t see any changing in this new version. It’s not really necessary to upgrade.
