Leave a comment

A new version of the popular WordPress CMS was released yesterday. Version 3.9.2 includes a fix for a serious potential Denial-of-Service bug, and a few other changes that improve overall security.

Anyone who operates a WordPress site is strongly encouraged to update the software as soon as possible. Sites that are configured to allow auto-updates should be automatically updated in the next day or so.

About jrivett

Jeff Rivett has worked with and written about computers since the early 1980s. His first computer was an Apple II+, built by his father and heavily customized. Jeff's writing appeared in Computist Magazine in the 1980s, and he created and sold a game utility (Ultimaker 2, reviewed in the December 1983 Washington Apple Pi Journal) to international markets during the same period. Proceeds from writing, software sales, and contract programming gigs paid his way through university, earning him a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) degree at UWO. Jeff went on to work as a programmer, sysadmin, and manager in various industries. There's more on the About page, and on the Jeff Rivett Consulting site.
