A new version of WordPress has just been released and it features a major security fix and some other new features. The latest WordPress 2.3.2 version fixes a bug that could be used to expose draft posts and information leaks in the XML-RPC and APP implementations. It is recommecded to update to 2.3.2 to protect your blog from these disclosures.

Also in the latest WordPress 2.3.2 version, you can now define a custom DB error page. You simply place your custom template at wp-content/db-error.php. So now, if WordPress ever has a problem connecting to the database, this page will displayed rather than the default error message. Very handy!

To download the very latest WordPress 2.3.2 version you can visit the WordPress download page. It is a recommended upgrade and from what I have heard online so far, it seems to upgrade very fast. I’ll definitely be upgrading to this latest version.
