Update to Wordpress 2.1.3 and 2.0.10 Provides Security Fix

This just in from Wordpress awhile ago…

We have a security update release now available for both the 2.1 and 2.0 branches of WordPress now available for immediate download. This update is highly recommend for all users of both branches.

These releases include fixes for several publicly known minor XSS issues, one major XML-RPC issue, and a proactive full sweep of the WordPress codebase to protect against future problems.

It isn’t April 1 anymore so this probably is the real thing. Make sure you guys update to this new version since it provides some important security fixes which if left unpatched will surely be easy to exploit.

Don’t forget to backup and test your backups first ;-) Good luck!
