WordPress 2.6.5 has just been released and is immediately available. Wordpress recommends everyone upgrade to this release. It fixes one security problem and 3 bugs.

Below is a list of the changes in detail:

Added a check for the correct post_type to blogger.editPost and blogger.deletePost (#8267).
Updates to update_post_meta() and delete_post_meta() to ensure they work correctly with post revisions and don’t create the meta on the revision instead of the post (#7925).
Protection for a very difficult to exploit XSS issue (#8291).
Fix for an XSS issue with the Atom and RSS feeds on some hosting setups ([9754], [9770]).

Note that we have skipping version 2.6.4 and jumped 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. Download WordPress 2.6.5 now.
