WordPress 2.3 Due Out Today

Although WordPress 2.3 is due out today there has not been a bit of mention of it in the news today, and it hasn’t shown up on wordpress.org either (note I’m writing this an hour or so before it will actually go up so things could change, I’ll try to update this post if things do). I’m looking forward to it however I’m not sure if there will be an immediate upgrade, mostly because I want to wait it out and make sure all of my plugins work before I go breaking things.

But, I know there are a lot of people out there waiting to get there hands on it (someone must be), so here is a list of places where you can go for some information on the upcoming release, what to do before you upgrade, things you need to know before you upgrade, etc.

Tagging and the updating of plugins really seems to be the only two features that any body seems to really care about. I personally don’t really care about tagging all that much because I feel that tagging is getting a little stale. And, as for the updating of plugins, I think that it is really cool, something I really think will be a much needed improvement. Now if they could make it a little bit easier to automatically update your WordPress install, they will really have something going.

WordPress Releases 2.2.3

WordPress LogoI don’t want to be another one of those blogs that updates every time that a new version of WordPress comes out but this update is a security update and 2 of the fixes are high priority and I feel that everyone should know (I don’t know how you couldn’t know since it is the first thing you see when you log into your admin panel).

There are 9 bug fixes in this release and 19 changed files. It shouldn’t take you too long to update your install and this will probably hold you over until WordPress 2.3 comes out on September 24th.

You can download the new version here and here is the upgrade instructions if you need them.

I’m going to go install it right now.
