Today my WordPress was upgraded to a new version, version 2.8.1. There weren’t so many changes, but it feels better to upgrade to the newest version.
Here is the change log for WordPress v2.8.1:
- Certain themes were calling
get_categories()in such a way that it would fail in 2.8. 2.8.1 works around this so these themes won’t have to change. - Dashboard memory usage is reduced. Some people were running out of memory when loading the dashboard, resulting in an incomplete page.
- The automatic upgrade no longer accidentally deletes files when cleaning up from a failed upgrade.
- A problem where the rich text editor wasn’t being loaded due to compression issues has been worked around.
- Extra security has been put in place to better protect you from plugins that do not do explicit permission checks.
- Translation of role names fixed.
wp_page_menu()defaults to sorting by the user-specified menu order rather than the page title.- Upload error messages are now correctly reported.
- Autosave error experienced by some IE users is fixed.
- Styling glitch in the plugin editor fixed.
- SSH2 filesystem requirements updated.
- Switched back to curl as the default transport.
- Updated the translation library to avoid a problem with
mbstring.func_overload. - Stricter inline style sanitization.
- Stricter menu security.
- Disabled code highlighting due to browser incompatibilities.
- RTL layout fixes.
