WordPress 3.0.4 has been released to plug a critical security vulnerability. [It] fixes a core security bug in our HTML sanitation library, called KSES. I would rate this release as “critical.” I realize an update during the holidays is no fun, but this one is worth putting down the eggnog for.

The talented team behind WordPress.com has launched a major update to their built-in contact forms. The old built-in contact form system was in need of a major overhaul, and that’s exactly what it got in this update.
