# Upgrading to WordPress 2.1.2

## Upgrading to WordPress 2.1.2

I’ve just upgraded the blog to run the latest version of WordPress – [v2.1.2](http://wordpress.org/download/) – which was released yesterday.  
As usual with WordPress a straightforward process, and assuming I manage to post this entry then a successful one too.  
This release followed some security breaches and malicious code being introduced into the downloaded versions of the previous release, as [Dougal](http://dougal.gunters.org/blog/2007/03/03/important-upgrade-to-wordpress-212) explains:

> If you recently installed version 2.1.1, you should upgrade to WordPress 2.1.2 immediately. There was a security breach on the server which housed the download archives, and some files in the 2.1.1 download were modified to include a serious security hole.
