Annunciato il rilascio della quarta release candidate del cms Drupal 7.0. Note di rilascio e download a partire da questa pagina.

Automattic ha rilasciato un importante aggiornamento di sicurezza del suo cms WordPress. L'aggiornamento, che risolve un bug di sicurezza definito critico, è caldamento consigliato.

Version 3.0.4 of WordPress, available immediately through the update page in your dashboard or for download here, is a very important update to apply to your sites as soon as possible because it fixes a core security bug in our HTML sanitation library, called KSES. I would rate this release as "critical".

Rilasciata la prima release candidate di WordPress 3.1.

An RC comes after the beta period and before final release. That means we think we’re done. We currently have no known issues or bugs to squash. But with tens of millions of users, a variety of configurations, and thousands of plugins, it’s possible we’ve missed something. So if you haven’t tested WordPress 3.1 yet, now is the time! Please though, not on your live site unless you’re extra adventurous.

La RC1 può essere scaricata da questo link: wordpress-3.1-RC1.zip.
