I actually did the update… thinking just as you did that I now announced that I was on the older version.

Oh, and one more thing, you just announced to the world your version. You’ve just told hackers that your blog is open for hacking.

I’m not being nasty, I just wanted you to think about that risk. I’d hate to see your post be the reason for something bad to happen.

It isn’t a matter of need. It’s a matter of security. You decide from there.

OK… so I went ahead and upgraded… I figured I had some time today and I was tweaking things anyway to get the webcams to work so I figured why not!!!!

Pretty simple upgrade… Basically just uploaded it all with overwrite turned on.
