Less than three weeks after the release of the much awaited WordPress 2.9 release milestone comes WordPress 2.9.1, a release that was expected by many because of bugs that some WordPress webmasters encountered after upgrading to or installing WordPress 2.9. The most notable – and annoying bug – was that WordPress seemed to have problems with scheduled posts and pages on some web hosts.
Scheduled posts would not be published at the time configured by the user but appear as missed in the list of posts forcing the webmaster to reschedule and hope for the best or to publish it manually.
WordPress 2.9.1 fixes this annoying bug and 23 others that are listed in WordPress Trac. Five of the bugs listed have been rated high while the majority received a normal rating. Several updates fix installation and upgrade issues that webmasters might have experienced. Webmasters with those issues might want to install or upgrade straight to WordPress 2.9.1 which might fix the issues experienced by those webmasters.
Our blogs have not picked up the new version of WordPress yet but it is likely that this will happen in the next few hours.
WordPress 2.9.1 can be downloaded at the official WordPress website. The list of bug fixes is available here.
