What a complete pain in the ass to have to update this crap every few weeks. Apparently 2.5.1 contains, among other things, a security fix. I’ve got about 50 or so blogs and dealing with this every time an update comes out is ridiculous. Fantastico’s automatic update has caused me more problems than I care to recount. So I manually update all the blogs now.

Well, that’s my rant and here’s the full scoop from the WordPressers:

    Version 2.5.1 of WordPress is now available. It includes a number of bug fixes, performance enhancements, and one very important security fix. We recommend everyone update immediately, particularly if your blog has open registration. The vulnerability is not public but it will be shortly.

    In addition to the security fix, 2.5.1 contains many bug fixes. If you are interested only in the security fixes, you can download these corrected copies of wp-includes/pluggable.php, wp-admin/includes/media.php, and wp-admin/media.php. Replace your existing copies of these files with these new copies.

    If you download the entire 2.5.1 release, you will be getting over 70 other fixes. 2.5.1 focuses on fixing the most annoying bugs and improving performance. Here are some highlights:

    Performance improvements for the Dashboard, Write Post, and Edit Comments pages.
    Better performance for those who have many categories
    Media Uploader fixes
    An upgrade to TinyMCE 3.0.7
    Widget Administration fixes
    Various usability improvements

Layout fixes for IE
