WordPress 2.6.5 Now Available for Download

For those of you who have an IP-based virtual server running on Apache 2.x, the WordPress team has recommended that you immediately upgrade to WordPress 2.6.5, or at least upgrade the wp-includes/feed.php and wp-includes/version.php files. 

Other changes mentioned:

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.

Oh, and in case anyone else noticed, it looks like they skipped releasing WordPress 2.6.4 completely.  I assume this is due to the fake WordPress 2.6.4 release, which was released by someone pretending to be the WordPress team and contained a trojan horse virus.   Smart move as this should help avoid confusion.
