Do you need WordPress 3.1.1?

The answer is; Yes, if you want to strengthen your security and resolve the following issues:

  • Some security hardening to media uploads
  • Performance improvements
  • Fixes for IIS6 support
  • Fixes for taxonomy and PATHINFO (/index.php/) permalinks
  • Fixes for various query and taxonomy edge cases that caused some plugin compatibility issues
  • Visual editor not displaying
  • Themes experiencing post display problems

Plus, a few more items relating more to the WordPress core.

By the way, WordPress team left a haiku for all who ask if they need to upgrade.

Only the geeks know
What half this stuff even means
Don’t worry — update

I love it. LOL! :D

Update: April 27, 2011

WordPress released version 3.2.1 for the vulnerability that allowed Contributor-level users to improperly publish posts. To me, blogs with multiple authors should highly consider upgrading to this version.
