WordPress 2.2.2. and 2.0.11 – fixing security issues release

Today the guys behind WordPress.org (Matt, with a little help from Alex and Benjamin, to be precise) revealed two security-related releases, for users of both 2.2 and 2.0 branches. As Matt says in the official WordPress Blog, these releases only include security and minor bug fixes, therefore they should not cause any plug-in or theme compatibility issues, so, as he says, you have no excuse but to upgrade to the latest version.

On their Trac you can see the bugs closed for 2.2.2 and 2.0.11 to get more details about the problems fixed. With a little more Trac magic you can see all the changed files for 2.2.2 or 2.0.11.

Of course I’d still recommend to back up your database, and deactivate the plug-ins prior to the upgrade, none of us wants to see Matt being wrong about the compatibility part, right?
