Checked out WordPress 2.8.6 – Here is what I found
Yesterday I posted a quick blurb when I first saw the upgrade link in one of my blogs. It actually showed a few minutes before the upgrade notice in the feed reader. From the WordPress blog.
2.8.6 fixes two security problems that can be exploited by registered, logged in users who have posting privileges. If you have untrusted authors on your blog, upgrading to 2.8.6 is recommended.
If you have multiple author accounts it is an upgrade that you should do ASAP. For others I would still upgrade when you get the opportunity but it is not a hot priority. I have added the upgrade video for those that will be upgrading.
Yes it says WordPress 2.7.1 but the way to do it is the same.
Upgrading is relatively painless but if you would like it done for you go to WordPress Upgrade.

Mike,
Thanks for the info…I haven’t upgraded yet, but it was in my plans for either today or over the weekend.
I don’t have multiple posters, so I shouldn’t have to worry too much about the security updates.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the heads up on this. I’ve done a couple of mine, but am glad to have the luxury of not having to rush into it.

Another one. They keep coming…. Best new feature of WP was this ease of upgrading. It really takes little time to keep current.

Thank you again Mike for the update. I don’t login to my WP blogs everyday, so I don’t see the notices, so it’s good to hear it from you.

Makes you wonder how they have time to keep bringing out little revisions, especially with a major new upgrade on the horizon… As always, thanks for keeping us up-to-date, Mike!
