Matt announced yesterday that WordPress version 1.5.2 is available for download. This version of WordPress fixes a few security issues as well as a few bug fixes.

Owen Winkler offers an explanation of the changes in English . To some of you, it may look more like English with a slight geek accent :), but remind yourself the changes are a good thing.

For those of you who are curious, I ran a quick difference check and found the following files to be changed from version 1.5.1.3 to 1.5.2:

  • wp-commentsrss2.php
  • wp-register.php
  • wp-settings.php
  • xmlrpc.php
  • wp-admin/categories.php
  • wp-admin/edit-page-form.php
  • wp-admin/post.php
  • wp-admin/upload.php
  • wp-admin/users.php
  • wp-includes/comment-functions.php
  • wp-includes/functions-post.php
  • wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php
  • wp-includes/template-functions-category.php
  • wp-includes/version.php

But keep in mind, follow the Codex upgrade instructions or the instructions included in the read me (I don’t want anyone’s WordPress installation to blow up or anything ;) )
