Just a quick note for all of you Wordpress users ou there: if you'll remember a little bit back, there were some security issues that popped up in the code. Well, they've released a new version to correct the issues.

I am relieved to announce that WordPress 1.2.1 is now available for download. This release addresses a few bugs and minor security issues with 1.2. We've also backported the new login system from 1.3 that is much friendlier and should address many of the problems people have had with logging in and cookies.

Those of you who follow security lists may have noticed there was an announcement about WordPress a few days ago. [...] At the same time we were responsibly notified of a related but separate problem in the code related to HTTP response splitting (PDF link) by "Chaotic Evil."

It's good to see them work so quickly to get this new version out...
