Version 3.0.4 of WordPress, available immediately through the update page in your dashboard or for download here , is a very important update to apply to your sites as soon as possible because it fixes a core security bug in our HTML sanitation library, called KSES. I would rate this release as “critical.” This issue affects all versions of WordPress prior to 3.0.4, so if you are still on a 2.X release you need to update as well

WordPress 3.0.2 is available and is a mandatory security update for all previous WordPress versions. Haiku has become traditional: Fixed on day zero One-click update makes you safe This used to be hard This maintenance release fixes a moderate security issue that could allow a malicious Author-level user to gain further access to the site, addresses a handful of bugs, and provides some additional security enhancements. Big thanks to Vladimir Kolesnikov for detailed and responsible disclosure of the security issue! Download 3.0.2 or update automatically from the Dashboard > Updates menu in your site’s admin area

The WCFProxyGenerator tool on CodePlex has been updated, which is a community contributed tool that generates proxy classes that help manage the lifetimes of the proxy objects. As you might guess from the name the primary way that the proxy class helps manage object lifetimes is to deal with factories and proxies that have encountered a communication exception. You can also get two videos that go along with the tool and help explain proxy management: Managing Proxy Lifetime Exception Handling WCF Proxy It looks like this is still a work in progress so the code has changed somewhat since the videos were made.

Now that Beta 1 is publicly available, I’ve put a download link in for the original announcement (you’ll get a link here too).

Previously, I mentioned that you can sort by top rated release on CodePlex. But it is also interesting to know you can sort by most downloaded project in the past 7 days. We do past 7 days so that active projects are listed first

The Silverlight project templates in Visual Studio and other tools (such as Expression Blend) provide a default experience for users who do not have Silverlight installed. However, the current default experience is not very enticing: Unless you modify the default experience, this image appears in place of your application for all users who do not have Silverlight installed.

Two early release previews received new updates this week. Velocity is a highly scalable application cache that reduces the number of data lookups in a distributed system. Cache management is provided to make building caches into these types of applications easier.
