WordPress 2.3.1

WordPress 2.3.1 is now available. 2.3.1 is a bug-fix and security release for the 2.3 series.

2.3.1 fixes over twenty bugs. Some of the notable fixes are:

  • Tagging support for Windows Live Writer
  • Fixes for a login bug that affected those with a Blog Address different than
    their WordPress Address
  • Faster taxonomy database queries, especially tag intersection queries
  • Link importer fixes

The part that interested me the most was the tagging support for Live Writer. After a little research I figured out that I did not need to anything except refresh my blog account. To test this feature I created a new post and placed my tags in the field at the bottom of the Live Writer window called keywords. After publishing my post the browser confirmed that the tags were correctly entered. That is simple!
