WordPress 2.3.2 Applied

WordPress 2.3.2 was released 4 days ago. As you know, i already upgraded my ‘old’ wordpress 2.2.1 to version 2.3.1 in the last post. Now i choose to upgrade again because of the urgent security release.

WordPress 2.3.2 is an urgent security release that fixes a bug that can be used to expose your draft posts. 2.3.2 also suppresses some error messages that can give away information about your database table structure and limits and stops some information leaks in the XML-RPC and APP implementations. Getting version 2.3.2 will protect my blog from these disclosures.

According to the official press release at wordpress.org, Wordpress 2.3.2 allows us to define a custom DB error page. We can place our custom templates at wp-content/db-error.php. If WP has a problem connecting to your database, this page will displayed rather than the default error message.

WordPress version 2.3 has a lot of new user features. Each feature is very useful. Some new User Features that i love so much:
1. Tagging
In Write and Edit post there is now a tag entry field below the editor. Using a theme that supports tag will display tags with the categories.
We can change individual categories into tags.

Tagging importers from the popular tagging plugins are included:
* Ultimate Tag Warrior
* Jerome’s Keywords
* Simple Tags
* Bunny’s Technorati Tags

2. Update Notification
Now I am notified when there are new versions of WordPress. That’s cool

3. Improved Post and Draft Management
Now in Manage -> Posts you can filter by search term, post type (draft, private, scheduled for future publishing, or published), author, month published, and category. You can also combine any or all of those filters and do them all at once.

4. Pending Review
Drafts that are ready for review before publishing can now be easily labelled.

5. Advanced Visual Editor Buttons

6. Pretty URLs
WWW or no-WWW? Based on your Blog Address, WordPress automattically redirects the other to your blog address. Partial post URLs should find and redirect to the full URL. Also, if you change the Post Slug, the old URL will redirect to the new one

7. Updated Default Blogroll
