WordPress 2.3.2 Urgent Security Release

0

The WordPress folks have released WordPress 2.3.2, describing it as an urgent security release. This latest version fixes a bug that can be exploited to display your draft posts. Some changes have also been made to prevent certain error messages from giving away more information about your database than they need to. I would strongly advise that WordPress users install 2.3.2 ASAP.

WordPress 2.3.2 includes a new feature to allow you to customize the error page that’s displayed when WordPress can’t connect to your database. You can see the full list of changes between 2.3.1 and 2.3.2, you can also see which bugs are fixed in WordPress 2.3.2.

Head over to the 2.3.2 announcement post on the Dev Blog for the full story on WordPress 2.3.2. If you don’t care about any of that, you can just head straight to the download.

MySQL Cheatsheet By Example

Tech-Evangelist has put together an excellent cheatsheet for MySQL. There’s lots of other MySQL cheatsheets out there, but this one is unique in the fact that it gives examples of usage rather than just snippets of code.

This cheatsheet also includes a summary of commonly used MySQL data types, which will be really helpful to me. I can’t tell you how many times in a week I hit the MySQL website looking for specs on a certain data type.

If you think this cheatsheet would be useful to you, head on over to Tech-Evangelist to download the PDF.
