I have begun setting up a web site for OzWin for refugees from the late lamented OzWin Forum on CompuServe. That site will have information and downloads. The community will continue in our own section in the Tapcis Forum. If you are one of the people who know what any of that means, head over there and say hi.
I was just about to post a belated note about upgrading to WordPress 1.5.1.1 when I noticed that there is a security upgrade to WordPress 1.5.1.2. It appears to be a one line patch, so what I’m actually running right now is the patched 1.5.1.1.
I’ve upgraded WordPress to version 1.5.1. It was as easy as the installation instructions make it out to be. The only extra step was running my script that sets all the file permissions for secure PHP operation, as described in Securing PHP applications at Sonic.net.
This new version includes the fix for the problem with sending email when running in safe mode.
Coincidentally, my web hosting ISP, sonic.net, has turned off safe mode in their PHP installation, making all the safe mode workarounds I’ve been blogging about no longer necessary. Life has become simpler.
