Prepping 2.8.5. Get the beta here.
Changes:
- Fix for trackback DOS
- Removal of permalink_structure eval
- Remove some create_function() calls
- Disallow unfiltered uploads for admins by default. Enable it again with define(‘ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS’, true); in wp-config.php
- Add extra escaping here and there for defense in depth
- Retire two old importers
- A few small bug fixes
