The upgrade to 3.0.5 was resleased yesterday. From the release notes:
Two moderate security issues were fixed that could have allowed a Contributor- or Author-level user to gain further access to the site.
One information disclosure issue was addressed that could have allowed an Author-level user to view contents of posts they should not be able to see, such as draft or private posts.
Two security enhancements were added. One improved the security of any plugins which were not properly leveraging our security API. The other offers additional defense in depth against a vulnerability that was fixed in previous release.
Download and upgrade now!

… it’s time to go 0-3, I think — WordPress 3.0.3 is out – but the update is really only applicable to remote publishing-enabled systems…
WordPress 3.0.3 is available and is a security update for all previous WordPress versions.
This release fixes issues in the remote publishing interface, which under certain circumstances allowed Author- and Contributor-level users to improperly edit, publish, or delete posts.

In the story relating to release upgrades for Ubuntu, below the end-of-life table for the Ubutu Releases from the Ubuntu Wiki – just to have it all in one place; I’m only including the LTS (long-term support) editions, as these should be the only ones deployed on live production systems. In the meantime, Maverick Meerkat is due in October 2010, supported for 2 years. (more…)

There are a lot of words about the MySQL upgrade on Ubuntu 10.04 (64 bit specifically, perhaps the 32bit version too?) — it just hangs:
You get the hopeful message:
Preparing to replace mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.1
but then nothing happens and everything just hangs. (more…)

After a few reported issues with prior WordPress version upgrade 2.9, 2.9.1 is here to save the day (full version, not even RC 
From the source:
This release addresses a handful of minor issues as well as a rather annoying problem where scheduled posts and pingbacks are not processed correctly due to incompatibilities with some hosts.
Yipee!!

As also noted on the blog, it’s time to upgrade (if you haven’t already) to version 2.9 of WordPress. There are a huge whack of benefits and improvements (over 500 bugfixes), like the online image editor and easier video embedding that’s included now.
Well done, guys!!
When doing the upgrade, just make sure all the /pomo/ files and wp-settings are updated appropriately…
