For another time wordpress has a new release Visit through proxy which is for another time due to security issues of their software.

The important thing in this release is that they also fixed XSS related problems. That means that on a safe_mode = off server a hacker can get full access in the filesystem....

Anyway I wont write more, as I have to upgrade a few blogs....

The bad thing is that there is no alternative to WP.

Maybe we should create one that don't have XMLRPC Smiley

(I wish I could have time to start an open source project.....)

Does it have plugins/comments/trackbacks/tags and all the cool things WP has?
