 * masquerade, of course you are right — security is important.
    I really recognize
   the big workload and time the devs and volunteers are putting in wordpress and
   I really, really appreciate their work. I don’t want to criticize the people 
   behind wordpress – nobody is perfect as you pointed out.
 * Try to see it from my point of view:
    I wanted to test wordpress and see if it
   fits my needs. I download the latest release – not a beta release, not a nightly
   build – an official release. I install it and try to use Ecto with it and I encounter
   not one but several bugs that should have been noticed by just trying to post
   an entry via xmlrpc.
 * That was quite frustrating because otherwise I think WordPress is really a great
   piece of software 🙂
 * anyway, I tried the newest patch mentioned above:
    The category-bug is fixed,
   but I still can’t upload images using ecto or marsedit (same problem as described
   by johnoz).

 * There are still problems with the xmlrpc-file.
    I managed to work around the 
   category problem described above by commenting the lines that contain the else-
   block responsible for the category-behaviour.
 * However, I’m not able to add images using ecto or marsedit.
    the file is uploaded
   correctly, but the data seems to get messed up during decoding. If I try to open
   the file stored on the server, my graphics-app (GraphicConverter) tells me, that
   the file is broken and that it does not recognize the file format. The image 
   is not displayed in browser apps as well (neither firefox nor safari).
 * Don’t get me wrong, but if so much was changed in the rpc-api there should’ve
   been much more testing prior to releasing this buggy implementation…

 * hi,
    I can confirm that at least updating entries works fine with the patch (
   updating entries was broken before as well).
