WordPress 2.3.1 Release Candidate 1

Sha October 25, 2007 9

WordPress 2.3.1 is about to be rolled out soon and the dudes at WordPress has released WordPress 2.3.1 RC1 prior to the official big release

The upcoming version 2.3.1 fixes over twenty bugs. Some of the notable fixes are:

Tagging support for Windows Live Writer
A login bug that affected those with a Blog Address different than their WordPress Address is fixed
Faster taxonomy database queries, especially tag intersection queries
Link importer fixes

All I can say, too many releases and WordPress fellas need to add a feature that allows automatic upgrade as an option, in our WordPress. Now that will be easier for us user

I agree with you! Getting sick of constantly ‘upgrading’ every few weeks. I stopped at 2.2.2. Can’t be bothered checking Fantastico oredy!

  no i can’t do it, not a programmer
  
  but there’s a plugin that can do the automatic upgrade
  
  i hope wordpress would add that in future versions

I use the automatic upgrade plugin, it’s fast and easy. IYou can say that I’m a fan of convenience.

Whoa moby, don’t tell ppl what wordpress version you’re using ah, later ppl know the bugs and if they’re too free, might launch up an attack on you? :)

But the 2.3 TagCloud sure looks cool. What the command line to call that function ah cos I’m not using widgets.

    Umm i don’t quite get you there. If you’re from a lower version before 2.3, I don’t see any problems in running the ‘automatic upgrade’ plugin to upgrade your current platform version to a 2.3.
    
    Whether it’s compatible for v2.3 is redundant, since you would have already upgraded to 2.3 if you run the plugin.

      v2.2 to v2.3 is different legacy
      
      i’ve not tried the automatic plugin upgrade to v2.3, so might have cockup. i’m unsure. have you?
      
      me still at v2.2.3 … the things is i’m too occupied to find the updated various plugins i’m using, when i need to upgrade to v2.3. i’m using alot of plugins which i also saw not supported in v2.3, so another thing to consider if i want to upgrade
      
      the only thing i look fwd in v2.3 is the the new tag function, other than that so far v2.2.3 stable, no security breach. so sticking for now
      
      upgrading to v2.3 is still on my to do list

        Yeah i’ve tried upgrading it from v2.2.x and it works fine. I did it a few times. Oh yes I was skeptical about the move to 2.3 also, cos a few plugins wouldn’t work…but just make the move. :P v2.3 will inform you which plugins need updates. Nifty feature!
        
        For mine, there were some plugins that were supposed to be incompatble. But v2.3 prompted me to update the respective plugins, i did and it worked fine. The only problem is Google sitemaps plugin, even when i’ve updated it, it still causes problems with v2.3
