Linux版本2.6.37发布整整14天之后，Linus Torvalds发布了内核2.6.38的第一测试版，正式版预计将在三月底或四月初完成。在此版本中，开发周期的合并窗口已经结束，Torvalds集 成这个版本的大多数变化到主要开发分支的源代码管理系统。

像往常一样，这个版本做了大量的改变，用户最终将从这些改变中受益。其中一个这样的变化就是所谓的“神奇补丁“，在某些情况下可以重新分配处理器的负载，明显加快了桌面应用程序的反应时间。

Torvalds在这个发行版的电子邮件中明确提到SCHED_AUTOGROUP功能，以及可以提高VFS(虚拟文件系统)可扩展性的补丁;这些都已经开发了一段时间了，在错过了2.6.36和2.6.37后，终于被添加到2.6.38中。

支持AMD Bobcat处理器的补丁也包括在内，DRM Radeon驱动程序现在也可以运用Radeon HD62xx到68xx型号的一些2D和3D图形芯片的加速功能。对于Intel图形芯片驱动程序现在可在Core-i处理器更好地支持节约电力功能。

与往常一样，大量驱动被添加或修改，例如，对Realtek的WLAN芯片rtl8192ce的驱动也首次加入。

官方原文:

Version 3.0.4 of WordPress, available immediately through the update page in your dashboard or for download here, is a very important update to apply to your sites as soon as possible because it fixes a core security bug in our HTML sanitation library, called KSES. I would rate this release as “critical.”

I realize an update during the holidays is no fun, but this one is worth putting down the eggnog for. In the spirit of the holidays, consider helping your friends as well.

If you are a security researcher, we’d appreciate you taking a look over this changeset as well to review our update. We’ve given it a lot of thought and review but since this is so core we want as many brains on it as possible. Thanks to Mauro Gentile and Jon Cave (duck_) who discovered and alerted us to these XSS vulnerabilities first.

岁末将至，WordPress官方于29号发布了WorPress 3.0.4，这是一个非常重要的更新，修复了被称为KSES的HTML sanitation library中的一个核心安全问题。该更新被评为关键，建议用户立即更新。

你可通过后台进行自动更新，也可以下载文件进行手动更新。
