WordPress 2.6.5 By Ryan Boren. Filed under Development.
WordPress 2.6.5 is immediately available and fixes one security problem and three bugs. We recommend everyone upgrade to this release.
The security issue is an XSS exploit discovered by Jeremias Reith that fortunately only affects IP-based virtual servers running on Apache 2.x. If you are interested only in the security fix, copy wp-includes/feed.php and wp-includes/version.php from the 2.6.5 release package.
2.6.5 contains three other small fixes in addition to the XSS fix. The first prevents accidentally saving post meta information to a revision. The second prevents XML-RPC from fetching incorrect post types. The third adds some user ID sanitization during bulk delete requests. For a list of changed files, consult the full changeset between 2.6.3 and 2.6.5.
Note that we are skipping version 2.6.4 and jumping from 2.6.3 to 2.6.5 to avoid confusion with a fake 2.6.4 release that made the rounds. There is not and never will be a version 2.6.4.

When you get a hash Check failed on a bittorrent client, it means someone has sent you a corrupted or altered piece of data. Torrent clients like uTorrent, Bitcomet will perform hash check on every piece of data that is uploaded from seeders or leechers to your computer. If that piece of data is mismatched, hash check failed occurs.
Do not worry, your torrent client will stop the changed data from being saved to your harddisk. The piece of data will be downloaded again. Therefore, you do not need to restart your torrent or do anything. If you get several failed hash check from the same ip address, it is likely your torrent client will ban that particular ip address to prevent bandwidth and time wasting. Utorrent will ban the ip address that failed 3 hash checks.
ASRock has a ploy to sell more of its motherboards: Instant Boot. The BIOS update for select MoBos promises to boot XP or Vista systems 10 times faster than standard PCs — in other words, about 3 to 4 seconds from a full shutdown. ASRock achieves this minor of miracles through manipulation of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface that Microsoft manipulates for its sleep and hibernate modes. At the risk of oversimplification, ASRock appears to add the processing baggage to the backend of the shutdown process, essentially rebooting the OS and then dropping it into a suspended state ready to instantly pop on the next time you hit the power button. Pretty smart actually. Here’s the catch: the system you’re using must be limited to a single user account without any password protection — a definite no-no for corporate environments. See what happens when Hugo and George steal Dad’s camcorder after the break.
You can get file hash information easily by installing HashTab. The Hash algorithms supported are MD5, SHA1 and CRC-32.
HashTab description
A windows shell extension which installs a new tab with file hash information
HashTab is a Windows shell extension which adds a tab called “File Hashes” to the Windows Explorer file properties.
HashTab will allow you to see file hash information.
The tab contains the MD5, SHA1 and CRC-32 file hashes. These are common hashes that are used to verify the integrity and authenticity of files. Many download sites list the MD5 hash along with the download link.
The HashTab makes it very simple for Windows users to check these hashes on any file on the system without using external tools.

HashTab installs a new tab with file hash information and allows you to perform hash comparisons.
What’s new in HashTab 2.1.0:
· Added drag and drop support for comparing files. Once the hash has completed, files can be dragged onto the HashTab. The dropped file will be hashed using the selected hash algorithm and the result is put in the text box and compared. This will make hash comparisons a little easier in some cases.
· Updated translations for German, Japanese, Italian, French.
· Fixed hash settings listbox layout
· Added a “copy all” menu item to copy all hash data to clipboard
· Fixed a problem where you had to hash a file in order to change settings
· Added French translation
· By popular demand, added support for MD2 and MD4 hashes.
· The translation file has been updated for the new UI elements. If you notice untranslated strings in your language, you can help by downloading the translation file, translating the missing strings and sending me the file. Thanks! To update, just download and install as usual. (This is the same file that you download at the top of the page.)
