The latest version of WordPress has just been released. It is WordPress Version 2.6.3 and it is now available for download at WordPress.org.

It is a minor bug-fix release, after it was discovered there is a vulnerability in the Snoopy library of the WordPress 2.6.2 version. It seems to be a low-risk vulnerability, however the WordPress team have decided to release an update, while we anxiously await the soon to be released WordPress 2.7.

The Quick Fix

If you don’t want to download the whole release just to get the security fix, you can download the following two files and copy them over to your 2.6.2 installation.
