A couple of release notes here: http://wordpress.org/development/2009/10/wordpress-2-8-5-hardening-release/ And the download here: http://www.wordpress.org (and you can always just log into your admin panel and use the automatic upgrade button too!)  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
