WordPress 2.8.5 Beta 1

WordPress is a pupular publishing platform focusing on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time. WordPress 2.8.5 Beta 1 is improving as secure as possible and it has identified a number of security hardening changes.

The Changes in 2.8.5 Beta 1 release are:
A fix for the Trackback Denial-of-Service attack that is currently being seen.
Removal of areas within the code where php code in variables was evaluated.
Switched the file upload functionality to be whitelisted for all users including Admins.
Retiring of the two importers of Tag data from old plugins.

Besides, the WordPress Exploit Scanner could take a look at your site if you think it may have been hit by one of the recent exploits. Make sure all traces of the exploit have been cleared.

We would recommend users to update to this new version of WordPress from Brothersoft so as to ensure that you have the best available protection!
