WordPress 2.9.1 Update

WordPress  2.9.1 was released today.  This release addresses a handful of minor issues as well as a “rather annoying problem where scheduled posts and pingbacks are not processed correctly due to incompatibilities with some hosts.”

Many of the fixes are cosmetic, so the urgency to upgrade it not as essential as it would be if there were security holes, but it is always a good practice to upgrade sooner than later. WordPress is tested by many developers and users throughout the community before it is released, and although there may be minor bugs here and there, the stable releases are pretty sound. Download 2.9.1 or upgrade automatically from the Tools->Upgrade menu in your blog’s admin area.
