A hearty high five to the development team at WordPress. They are so good about staying on top of security issues. Yet another example of why it’s the best CMS on the planet!

We too upgraded to Wordpress 2.8.2 using Wordpress’ built-in upgrade feature. It hasn’t worked well in the past, but going from 2.8.1 to 2.8.2 seemed to work well.
We have heard that many people are having to manually upgrade after updating 2.7.1 to 2.8, which had a bug that was fixed in 2.8.1. We’re glad it’s fixed.
