The recent enhancements to Magento Commerce help merchants provide a more personalized shopping experience for their customers. Benefits include mobile HTML5, auto-generation of coupon codes, customer group pricing, etc. These enhancements give merchants greater potential to boost consumer engagement, increase conversions and transaction size, and foster brand loyalty. All merchants, including those running B2B businesses, can take advantage of improved customer segmentation and ordering capabilities while those operating in Europe can use the new features in Magento to stay compliant with EU regulations. Of course, the latest Magento release have lots in store for developers too, including a new API, and backup and rollback systems.

Please Note: We do NOT recommend upgrading a production installation of Magento directly. Please backup database and all files before upgrading. Please make sure to check for compatibility of your plugins and themes before you upgrade.

WordPress 3.3.2 Security Patch Released

WordPress 3.3.2 is now available for download or update within your WordPress dashboard.

WordPress Hosting

Three external libraries included in WordPress received security updates:

  • Plupload (version 1.5.4), which WordPress uses for uploading media.
  • SWFUpload, which WordPress previously used for uploading media, and may still be in use by plugins.
  • SWFObject, which WordPress previously used to embed Flash content, and may still be in use by plugins and themes.

WordPress 3.3.2 also addresses:

  • Limited privilege escalation where a site administrator could deactivate network-wide plugins when running a WordPress network under particular circumstances.
  • Cross-site scripting vulnerability when making URLs clickable.
  • Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in redirects after posting comments in older browsers, and when filtering URLs.

These issues were fixed by the WordPress core security team. Five other bugs were also fixed in version 3.3.2. Consult the change log for more details.

We recommend everyone to update their WordPress to this latest version ASAP!
