Dear Users,
we would like to announce that the newest version of WordPress has been released (2.8.5). The headline changes in this release include:
• a fix for the Trackback Denial-of-Service attack that is currently being seen,
• removal of areas within the code where php code in variables was evaluated,
• switched the file upload functionality to be whitelisted for all users including admins,
• retiring of the two importers of Tag data from old plugins.
We would recommend that all sites are upgraded to this new version of WordPress to ensure that you have the best available protection.
Do not forget to upgrade all your scripts, especially Coppermine, because many of you use old versions which is not a good idea at all.
Dear Users,
as you may have noticed, there is a minor problem with one of our servers, namely S4. We are working on providing a solution to this issue as soon as possible. The problem with harddrives occured and they will be replaced with new ones. It may take a few days. Do not worry, your data is safe. We have the most recent backups. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks for understanding.
