In case anyone missed it - wordpress 2.8.1 version has been released, and there are a few security issues
Core Security Technologies notified us that admin pages added by certain plugins could be viewed by unprivileged users, resulting in information being leaked. Not all plugins are vulnerable to this problem, but we advise upgrading to 2.8.1 to be safe.
I have noticed in wordpress, an issue the odd time with the text editor, and apparently this fixes this issue.
A problem where the rich text editor wasn’t being loaded due to compression issues has been worked around.
Other fixes to wordpress include:
Certain themes were calling get_categories() in such a way that it would fail in 2.8. 2.8.1 works around this so these themes won’t have to change.
Dashboard memory usage is reduced. Some people were running out of memory when loading the dashboard, resulting in an incomplete page.
The automatic upgrade no longer accidentally deletes files when cleaning up from a failed upgrade.
A problem where the rich text editor wasn’t being loaded due to compression issues has been worked around.
