WordPress 2.0.6 RC1 Released

There’s another update to the previous Wordpress 2.0.6 Beta 1 but this time it's status is release candidate not beta anymore .. and that means there will be a final version of Wordpress 2.0.6 ..

and changes for this version from the 2.0.6 beta release :

• i18n fixes
• Quicktags now activated for Safari (requires very recent version of Safari 2)
• Global MySQL query filter (called "query"), which allows for very powerful plugins
• Fix for funky expand/contract behavior of the bigger DBX boxes (trackbacks, postmeta) in Firefox
• Akismet plugin optimizes the comment database more infrequently (doesn't need to happen that often)

And another important note quoted from Mark Jaquith post at wp-testers :

One other note:  there is a security patch that will be going into 2.0.6 final that is NOT in this release candidate (so as to not give troublemakers a head start).  So be sure to download the final version when it comes out.

So just make sure when wordpress 2.0.6 final get released to the public you should update your wordpress installation .. and if you’re interested on testing on your server using the rc series here’s the download location
