Download WordPress 2.1.1/2.0.9

WordPress has announced that a new version of its weblog script has been made available. WordPress is an open weblog software that is licensed under the GPL. The software says it can run within five minutes on a computer with PHP and MySQL. In addition to ‘blogging’, it is also possible to extend WordPress through plugins and themes. This time it is a security update that removes some bugs from the code and is released in two flavors, namely with 2.1.1 or 2.0.9 as the version number. The announcement looks like this:

Version 2.1.1 and 2.0.9

We’ve got a new bugfix and security release for both of our actively maintained branches of WordPress. Version 2.1.1 includes about 30 bug fixes, mostly minor things around encoding, XML-RPC, the object cache, and HTML code. It’s available for immediate download on our download page.

Version 2.0.9 only includes the security update, which was around the code we use to prevent XSS. You can download it from our release archive. As a reminder, we’ve committed to proving security updates to 2.0 through 2010, but all new features and development are going into the newer branch, which is at this time 2.1.

This is a low-to-medium priority update recommended for all WordPress users.[break]The following two files can be downloaded:
