      Hi dgrut,

      Depends on your definition of critical I suppose. If remote publishing is enabled then anyone with Author and/or Contributor status can, under certain circumstances, “…improperly edit, publish, or delete posts.”

      Why would you want to wait? Updating takes mere seconds now. :)

      There’s rarely a good reason not to upgrade, especially for security releases. Plus it’s so easy and fast!

      this is only a threat if you have a site with multiple authors, and you don’t trust then and make them be allowed only to mess with their own posts

      if you admin a site with that style and 1 of its authors is a hacker, he may wanna play admin in your site and test how serious is your backup system

      • dgrut (13 comments.) says:

        yup, currently im single author, even though an update must have some values added. So updates is important.

      • Jaycee (6 comments.) says:

        Agreed. Single authors create singular problems here. I don’t trust people enough to have multiple admins as of yet.

    If you want to do a manual update, all you need to do is copy wp-includes/version.php and
    xmlrpc.php. Unless you’re really concerned that your readme.html reflects the new version :-)

    What’s the use of updating when de last releases since 3.0.1 don’t even function properly?
