It is destined to happen after a major release and I know many of you have said that you were waiting to upgrade to 2.5 until the first fix was in place.   Well I’m happy to say that WordPress 2.5.1 is now available for download!

It looks like this release fixes over 70 bugs, included a major security vulnerability that is currently unknown to the general public.   In other words, if you are on WordPress 2.5 already, it is a good idea to upgrade.  Here are the other things mentioned in the post:

  • Performance improvements for the Dashboard, Write Post, and Edit Comments pages.
  • Better performance for those who have many categories
  • Media Uploader fixes
  • An upgrade to TinyMCE 3.0.7
  • Widget Administration fixes
  • Various usability improvements
  • Layout fixes for IE

    Thanks for having your WordPress ear to the ground! I signed up for updates and haven’t heard from WP. I’m signing up for your RSS feed instead!

    It’s pretty funny… I downloaded 2.5 today, upgraded, and then 5 minutes afterwards I refreshed the wordpress download page and 2.5.1 popped up. Bad timing?
