A new ver­sion of WordPress ‘Stray­horn’ is avail­able for down­load. This is a bug fix release that includes a secur­ity fix for users hos­ted on a server with PHP’s ‘register_globals’ set­ting turned on (a poten­tially dan­ger­ous configuration).

There are sev­eral other bug fixes and minor changes too. Owen has put together a plain Eng­lish ver­sion of the changes.

As an aside I noticed that WordPress Strayhorn’s down­load counter is rap­idly approach­ing the half-a-million mark.
