WordPress 2.6.5 Released

The developers of WordPress has released a new version of the world’s most popular blogging platform. I am sure that you have noticed the news on your dashboard. The new version, WordPress 2.6.5, fixes one security problem and three bugs. The security issue is an XSS exploit that only affects IP-based virtual servers running on Apache 2.x.

The first bug fix prevents accidentally saving post meta information to a revision, the second prevents XML-RPC from fetching incorrect post types and the third adds some user ID sanitization during bulk delete requests. These bug fixes are not so important. Still, it is recommended that you upgrade your installation as soon as possible.

Want to know about the changed files only? Here is the list:
/wp-includes/post.php (2 differences)
/wp-includes/version.php (1 difference)
/wp-includes/feed.php (1 difference)
/xmlrpc.php (2 differences)
/wp-admin/users.php (1 difference)

The last WordPress release was version 2.6.3 and now it is 2.6.5. So, WordPress avoided the version 2.6.4. Do you know the reason? well, it is because of the fake WordPress site that was distributing Trojan with a fake WordPress 2.6.4 release. For your own safety and smooth blogging, download WordPress from the official site only.

AROUNDMe social software - Free

AROUNDMe is a free software suite that gives you personal Internet identity AND social tools in which to collaborate.

Within the suite are three products:
AROUNDMe Personal identity
The perfect solution for anyone wishing to create their own OpenID-based identity on the Web. More
AROUNDMe identity server
The perfect solution for anyone wishing to create OpenID-based identities and offer websites for multiple people on the Web. More
AROUNDMe collaboration server
The perfect solution for anyone wishing to create collaborative social spaces on the Web. More
Why AROUNDMe
There are three things on the web that we want to address:
I have to register with every interactive web site today. Each one uses a different username and password combination. It's like having to have a separate passport to enter every shop! We give you a tool so that you have a single identity and password - an digital identity.
Your social network is an important tool, but you do not own it on the web today. Try taking your social network from MySpace to Facebook and you'll see what we mean. We want to give you a decentralised social network, a network that you own and that you can take from place to place.
In order to collaborate together on the web today we have to use several disparate tools which often do not work in the way we do, hence we have to change the way we work to fit the tool. We create a highly customisable collaborative space from which you can add social tools to match the way you work.
These three challenges are addressed with AROUNDMe; a free software suite that gives you personal Internet identity, decentralised social networking AND social tools in which to collaborate.
Who uses it
Forge; empowering young people to realise their dreams and improving their local community.
Ungdomstorget; a project to network Swedish youth in youth councils throughout Sweden.
A global social alliance

At the heart of AROUNDMe is a technology called OpenID. OpenID is supported by Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, AOL, Technorati, LiveJournal, Yahoo, and more than 10,000 Web sites support OpenID log-ins, and an estimated 350 million people OpenID based identities exist.

Software for everyone
Our software is developed to meet W3C web standards including conformance level Double-A of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines ensuring accessibility for people with disabilities.

ofDate Illegally Selling PHPizabi

ofDate is selling PHPizabi and mods as there own creation which is obviously illegal and a violation of the PHPizabi End User License Agreement. This isnt the first time with some sort of copyright violation of PHPizabi.

The sad part is that they even use free and paid mods found on phpizabi.com and turn around and add them to the stuff the are selling. Everyone should be angered that they are taking advantage of so many people and the hard work involved. People such as testuser, poolander, papaslacker, virgo and others that have put out some good stuff all to be taken advantage of.

Take a look its kinda funny how nervy some people are... http://www.ofdate.com
