WordPress 3.1.1 [1] has been released.
This maintenance and security release fixes almost thirty issues [2] in 3.1, including:
- 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
Version 3.1.1 also addresses three security issues discovered by WordPress core developers Jon Cave [3] and Peter Westwood [4], of our security team. The first hardens CSRF prevention in the media uploader. The second avoids a PHP crash in certain environments when handling devilishly devised links in comments, and the third addresses an XSS flaw.
We suggest you update to 3.1.1 promptly. Download 3.1.1 [5] or update automatically from the Dashboard ? Updates menu in your site’s admin area.
