I treat security fixes with a little more concern but really, it’s just annoying me that the WordPress upgrading process is quite a hassle. I know I know, you just upload the files and that’s all. But to load up my FTP program to do that - just too much of a hassle.

Every piece of web application should be able to receive updates easily. Today I’m upgrading WordPress, tomorrow I’ll be probably upgrading phpBB, the next day, probably CakePHP. It’s just too difficult to manage.

I was thinking that the PHP module may perhaps include some sort of an easy update function that all web applications can use. Developers just have to generate an XML file of the files that have been changed and a PHP function can just run to download all the files in a tmp folder and deploy it quickly.

Anyway, these are the updated files from WordPress 2.2.2 to 2.2.3:

• tags/2.2.3/wp-includes/default-filters.php (1 diff)
• tags/2.2.3/wp-includes/plugin.php (4 diffs)
• tags/2.2.3/wp-includes/query.php (3 diffs)
• tags/2.2.3/wp-includes/formatting.php (2 diffs)
• tags/2.2.3/wp-includes/feed-rss2-comments.php (2 diffs)
• tags/2.2.3/wp-includes/rewrite.php (1 diff)

• tags/2.2.3/wp-includes/pluggable.php (1 diff)
• tags/2.2.3/wp-includes/widgets.php (2 diffs)
• tags/2.2.3/wp-includes/rss.php (2 diffs)
• tags/2.2.3/wp-includes/vars.php (1 diff)
• tags/2.2.3/xmlrpc.php (2 diffs)
