There was some problem with the new WordPress 2.9 release that occurred a few weeks ago: complaints were rolling in that scheduled posts were not publishing. I didn’t experience the problem (I hadn’t any scheduled posts), so I don’t know if the issue affected any of my blogs. But the WordPress dudes have solved the problem with the release of 2.9.1.
After over a million downloads of WordPress 2.9 and lots of feedback from all of you, we’re releasing WordPress 2.9.1. 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. If any of these issues affect you, give 2.9.1 a try. Download 2.9.1 or upgrade automatically from the Tools->Upgrade menu in your blog’s admin area.
I know quite a handful of WordPress users who will be happy to see this! Since it’s not a security release, I don’t thunk it’s a critical update. However, I usually update when I can. just so I don’t have a huge update to do the next time another major release is issued.
