WordPress 4.9.1 has Been Released
WordPress 4.9.1, the first update since the big WordPress 4.9 release, is here. It is a security and maintenance release created to harden security and implement fixes found in the previous version.
The update includes:
- A properly generated hash can be generated for the new bloguser key as opposed to a determinate substring
- Escaping has been added to the language attributes used on html elements
- Attributes of enclosures are correctly escaped in RSS and Atom feeds.
- Users who don’t have the unfiltered_html capability no longer have the ability to upload JavaScript files
- Issues relating to the caching of theme template files have been fixed
- The MediaElement JavaScript error that prevented users of certain languages from uploading media files has been fixed
- Windows based server users are now able to edit theme and plugin files.
Despite these fixes being minor they were impactful enough to warrant a new WordPress release.
