WordPress 2.5.1 Released, But You Can’t Reset Passwords and 2.5.2 is Close Behind; Will You Update?
Just as Filipino bloggers trooped to U.P. Diliman for the 4th iBlog Summit, WordPress 2.5.1 was released. It has over 70 security fixes and enhancements, including a SECRET_KEY in the wp-config.php file explained in-depth by Ryan Boren.
Now it seems people are debating whether one should hold off for the next WordPress version for several reasons. First, there’s a bug that can potentially lock people out of their blogs should they wish to reset their passwords. This can be fixed by manually editing the password through phpMyAdmin, and there’s a patch for the WordPress update itself.
Second, there’s talk that WordPress 2.5.2 will soon be out. This could frustrate a lot of bloggers who aren’t really comfortable with updating WordPress.
So will you upgrade to 2.5.1 immediately, or wait until 2.5.2 comes out? I’d say it has a lot to do with how confident you are in the blog security of your current installation.
