Self-hosted WordPress users, fire up your update engines because WordPress 3.1.1 is now available.
WordPress 3.1.1 might not bring any new functionality to the popular content management tool, but it does fix a number of bugs and potential security issues.
These are the new changes the WordPress team announced on the official WordPress blog:
- Some security hardening to media uploads
- Performance improvements
- Fixes for IIS6 support
- Fixes for taxonomy and PATHINFO (/index.php/) permalinks
- Fixes for various query and taxonomy edge cases that caused some plugin compatibility issues
WordPress 3.1 was released at the end of February and has already been downloaded nearly 4.5 million times.
Users that aren’t experiencing any issues with WordPress 3.1 should still update because the latest version does address three security issues discovered by the WordPress security team.
Users can download by either using the built-in update tool or by going to WordPress.org/download.
