A new version of WordPress is available! That’s right, you might have seen this message when you logged into your WordPress dashboard. WordPress 2.3.2 is ready for downloading. I usually upgrade my WordPress install after Fantasico has updated its software. I don’t like to mess around with my install so I always use Fantastico through my cpanel dashboard.
What is in WordPress 2.3.2?
WordPress 2.3.2 contains a major security fix. WordPress has fixed a bug that allowed Internet users to see posts that you had saved in your drafts folder. I noticed this bug a couple of months back. I would see a draft post show up on an RSS feed. Since you don’t want anyone to see what your future posts are going to be, you should definitely install this latest release.

BTW, i found this wordpress plugins that lets you automatically upgrade your wordpress installation. It also creates backups for you:

I found the automatic upgrade plugin earlier tonight and gave it a try. It was very quick and easy. I had been afraid to try upgrading before Fantastico got the upgrade, but I’m glad I did it with the plugin.
Thanks for the heads-up! I like how the newer releases of wordpress have the news section in the admin panel reminding you to upgrade.
@Teen Problogger - thanks for the plugin, I’m going to give it a try later.
I haven’t updated any of my blogs yet, will definitely have to update it with the latest WP version soon.
Hope it will be compatible to my plugins
