WordPress 3.7.1

WordPress 3.7.1 [1] has been released and it is a maintenance release. Are you using the new background autoupdate [2] feature yet?

This .1 release fixes 12 bugs [1] including:

  • Images with captions no longer appear broken in the visual editor.
  • Allow some sites running on old or poorly configured servers to continue to check for updates from WordPress.org.
  • Avoid fatal errors with certain plugins that were incorrectly calling some WordPress functions too early.
  • Fix hierarchical sorting in get_pages(), exclusions in wp_list_categories(), and in_category() when called with empty values.
  • Fix a warning that may occur in certain setups while performing a search, and a few other notices.

For me, my WordPress installation is a git checkout [3], so the background autoupdate is not applicable for me. I normally just do:

git fetch –tags; git checkout 3.7.1
