Posted on November 26th, 2008 in WP News | 1,714 views

WordPress 2.6.5 is immediately available and fixes one security problem and three bugs, here is a list of the changes in detail:

Added a check for the correct post_type to blogger.editPost and blogger.deletePost (#8267).
Updates to update_post_meta() and delete_post_meta() to ensure they work correctly with post revisions and don’t create the meta on the revision instead of the post (#7925).
Protection for a very difficult to exploit XSS issue (#8291).
Fix for an XSS issue with the Atom and RSS feeds on some hosting setups ([9754], [9770]).

For a complete list of all the changes, you can read this section of the branches/2.6 log on the WordPress bug tracker. Wordpress.org recommends everyone upgrade to this release.

Note that we have skipping version 2.6.4 and jumped from 2.6.3 to 2.6.5 to avoid confusion with a fake 2.6.4 release that made the rounds.

There is not and never will be a version 2.6.4
