   Ok, but this isn’t security release, right? So if I don’t need new features at the moment, I can continue using version 2.5, correct?

   Not a security release. If 2.5 is working for you, you can stay with it.

   Hi Stephen. Just had an issue using wp-o-matic. It’s cron job to read feed would not work with the error:
   PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘ABSPATHwp-content/multiblog/resources’/home/webs/phplibs’) in /home/webs/wordpress/html_svn/wp-config.php on line 63

   Including back into wp-config.php:
   if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
   define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);

   Solved the issue but I see in your changelog that you have intentionally removed it. I’ll leave like that for now but not sure if its an specific issue of this plugin or something that could affect others too.
   Thanks. Jose Luis

   Jose — The ABSPATH define() in wp-config.php in default WordPress is actually somewhat of a bug, in my opinion, because if/when it runs it can frequently return the wrong path. Basically, wp-o-matic is using a problematic method of doing what it’s doing, and I would not be surprised if it fails in the future with regular WP.

   (Specifically, wp-config.php is not always in the WP folder; it may be located one folder up. Thus defining ABSPATH as “where this file is” is sometimes wrong.)
