Serendipity 0.8.4 has been released today. As mentioned in this blog post, this release addresses the security issues with the PEAR:XML_RPC library.
If you already deleted your serendipity_xmlrpc.php file, an upgrade is not required. If you do not want to upgrade, just delete your current serendipity_xmlrpc.php file and you will not be affected by security issues.
Anyone who wants to use XML-RPC posting to Serendipity will now need to install the XML-RPC posting plugin, as discussed in the blog entry mentioned above.
This release also addresses a few other minor issues:
- Fix the problem that sometimes calendar images are displayed too large in the Internet Explorer
- Hide title of an entry when an entry is a draft (Bug #1260667)
- Allow Serendipity to use an existing PEAR installation on the server. Set "$serendipity['use_PEAR'] = true;" in your serendipity_config_local.inc.php or serendipity_config.inc.php file. The required packages can be found in the bundled-libs/.current_version file.
- Append the comment id to the mail that is sent to subscribers of an entry, so that they can jump to the submitted comment immediately.
You can download the release here: Download. SVN (tags/0.8.4) and CVS (HEAD) repositories have also been updated.
Have fun with Serendipity!

Could you point me how to upgrade an existing 0.8 installation to 0.8.4? Could not find anything about it on the site.
The same information applies to upgrade 0.8 to 0.8.4 than any other upgrade:
0. BACKUP!
1. Unpack the new release files into your existing s9y directory, overwriting the files.
2. Open your s9y admin panel
3. Click on "Yes, please do so"
4. Be happy.
We actually write this in most of our release announcements. Sorry that I left it out this time, I thought everybody now knew how easy updating is with s9y. :)

Was Garvin schon vor ein paar Tagen kurz angerissen hat, ist nun Wirklichkeit geworen: der stabile S9Y-Tree ist seit heute auf Version 0.8.4 upgedatet worden. Es handelt sich streng genommen um ein security-release, wer allerdings die Hinweise bisher b

15 Tage nach dem Release von Serendipity 0.8.3 ist heute die Version 0.8.4 erschienen. Die wichtigste Änderung ist die Behebung einer sicherheitslücke in der PEAR-Klasse XML_RPC.

Ich habe gerade meine Serendipity installation auf Version 0.8.4 aktualisiert. Wichtigste Neurung ist mal wieder die Behebung eines Bugs in der XML-RPC implementation.

Auch ich habe soeben auf die neue Version geupgradet. Neben der XSS-Lücke wurden einige Kleinigkeiten beseitigt. Das Update wäre nicht unbedingt nötig gewesen aber wenn man schon nix zu tun hat Das Update lief wie immer problemlos. An dieser Stelle auc

Ich bin immer wieder glücklich, wenn ich ein update von Serendipity (dieser Weblog-Software) mache. Selten habe ich eine Software gesehen die sich so problemlos updaten läßt. Die Version 0.8.4 ist nun aktuell und eher als Security-Update zu sehen.Vor ein
