WordPress 2.2.1 has been released. Dougal sums it up nicely:

Most of the changes are minor bug fixes, however there are some security fixes as well. We can’t stress enough how important it is to upgrade your sites and keep them current so that you aren’t open to attacks. Many people see these “minor” version updates and assume that they don’t need to install them.

(bold hiliting by me).

I saw the word “security” in there. I upgraded. It’s just that simple.

Hey, if you’re comfortable with shell and a bit of script modifying you definitely want to check out Brian Layman’s EasyWPUpdate script. I just updated 4 blogs on one server in less than 5 minutes — and that includes full file and database backups.

Brian has done well for himself lately. I’m envious. But seriously, if scripts don’t scare you, grab his updater. It rocks.

   I dread the new release time, it means so much work, it’s like blogging for chores.

   Oh pshaw, it’s not that bad!

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress is a good place to start. Or use a script like I do.
