Download WordPress 2.0.6 RC1 here:
http://wordpress.org/beta/wordpress-2.0.6-RC1.zip
Changes from 2.0.6 beta 1:
- i18n fixes
- Quicktags now activated for Safari (requires very recent version of
Safari 2)
- global MySQL query filter (called "query"), which allows for very
powerful plugins
- fix for funky expand/contract behavior of the bigger DBX boxes
(trackbacks, postmeta) in Firefox
- Akismet plugin optimizes the comment database more infrequently
(doesn't need to happen that often)
We've been having all positive feedback regarding the wp_redirect()
Server 500 error that some people were getting with WP 2.0.5 Big
kudos and thanks to everyone who helped me with that one, especially
Ben Masters who graciously granted me access to his server for testing.
Go ahead and bang on this release candidate over the weekend and
report back here. As always, we're looking for a diverse bunch of
testers, so I'm particularly interested in feedback from people
running PHP 5.2, PHP via FastCGI, IIS, Apache on Windows, etc.
Although the 2.0.x branch will continue to be maintained well into
the future, 2.0.6 is likely going to be the last release before WP
2.1 launches, so lets make it a good one!
One other note: there is a security patch that will be going into
2.0.6 final that is NOT in this release candidate (so as to not give
troublemakers a head start). So be sure to download the final
version when it comes out.

I understand the logic behind this but I wonder, is it wise to bypass
testing for any update? Is this security patch going through testing
in some other way?

Ryan and I just discussed this before packaging RC1, and we decided
that the change was small enough and predictable enough to keep under
wraps until 2.0.6 is finalized. Had the fix been more complex and
involved more lines of code then we may have put it into the RC.
Like everything in life, it comes down to cost/benefit analysis.
I'll be testing 2.0.6 WITH the change on a number of sites that I
manage, so in the very unlikely case that this small change causes
issues, there will be time for people to report them to me.

If the fix is easily bypassed wouldn't you want to know that sooner,
rather
than later? Besides, this method pretty much clearly isolates the fix and
draws attention to it, doesn't it?
Oh.. by "Head Start" do you mean at attacking blogs that haven't updated?
If that's what you mean, I guess that does have some logic to it...

The fix is an obvious one, and one we've made before to other parts
of WordPress, so I'm not worried that it'll be bypassed (past similar
fixes would have been bypassed by now). It does call attention to
it, but any PHP script kiddie worth his salt would have been able to
pick the change out of a big changeset anyway.

Yep... normal WP users aren't on the wp-testers list, so it could
give troublemakers a head start against them.

Surely a week is enough time to do a localized version. We really
want to be able to focus the bulk of energy on 2.1 after Christmas.

Are you sure? Even with Stefano's typing? ;)

Ok, sorry for the OT post but you guys seem to be a good resource.
Besides using wordpress, I spend most of my day as any oracle dba. I'm
