WordPress 2.3.1 Security Release, The Upgrading Mess

wordpress.png
WordPress Released today version 2.3.1 fixing over twenty bugs including some security issues.
  • Tagging support for Windows Live Writer
  • Fixes for a login bug that affected those with a Blog Address different than their WordPress Address
  • Faster taxonomy database queries, especially tag intersection queries
  • Link importer fixes

So good luck to upgrade to the new version ! Even with the number of solutions available to help upgrading easily, it still a real mess !! Just wondering why there isn't a version like everybody to upgrade from 2.3 to 2.3.1 including only files that changed ? Is it that difficult to automate ? If you are upgrading from an older version be sure to remove the utf-8 from DB_CHARSET in your config file, this will save you lots of time looking around : "where these special caracters are coming from ? "
