WordPress 2.5.1
In case you didn’t know, WordPress 2.5.1 was released today. I’ve just done the upgrade here, which was quick and painless I’m glad to say!
The upgrade consists of around 70 bug fixes, but the really important part of this upgrade is that it contains a security fix. You can read all the details over here on the dev blog. If you haven’t already upgraded, given this is a security update I strongly recommend that you do. You can grab yourself a copy right here.

Ubuntu 8.04 released today!
Just in case you weren’t aware, or somehow missed announcements elsewhere, Ubuntu 8.04 will be released today. Codenamed Hardy Heron, you can download your very own copy from the official site.
I’ve been using the beta Hardy for around 3 weeks now and I have to say I’ve found it far more stable than Gutsy ever was.
One of the slightly riskier things they’ve done with this release is to include the beta of Firefox 3. I say riskier because Firefox still being in beta, a number of people have reported stability problems with it under Ubuntu. Personally speaking, I’ve had one or two crashes but they do seem few and far between. The main downside for me is that not all of the addons have been brought up to date for 3, and using the nightly tester tools plugin has not helped in making two of my essential addons compatible. If you don’t rely on addons however there shouldn’t be much of a problem, and I’m sure it will be a simple enough process to downgrade Firefox.
Aside from Firefox there are plenty of other goodies to keep everyone happy, here is the full feature list.
Oh, and I have heard from a reliable source that Linux Outlaws will be releasing a Hardy Heron Special podcast today, so don’t forget to check them out too!
