Although I might have been able to blog this first last night…
WordPress 2.2.1 is now available for download. Wordpress 2.2.1 is a bug fix release for the 2.2 series. Since 2.2 was released a month ago, the WordPress community has been improving fit-and-finish by identifying and fixing those little bugs that can be so annoying and by fine-tuning some small details. The result is a nicely polished 2.2.1 release. Some of the highlighted bug fixes include:

The upgrade from Wordpress 2.2 to 2.2.1 went smoothly for me. However, I had to go back to the original version of ExecPHP. I had mod the codes in order for ExecPHP to work with 2.2. Since 2.2.1 addressed that bug, my ExecPHP plugin didn?t work until I switch back to the original.

I opted to sleep and then work today. Like upgrading about a dozen client blogs, friends’ blogs (yes I have friends), and our blogs to WP 2.2.1. Yes, 2.2 just came out, I know. Yes, 2.2 started out as a nice to have then became a “do it, do it right freakin’ now” upgrade, at least there isn’t any doubt this time.
It’s also a pretty easy update. It didn’t force a database upgrade so I just needed upload the new files and overwrite (unlike John above).
Also as much as we might complain, the improvements to WP over the past year are quite amazing. Now maybe I’ll wander down the street and see if Lloyd is up coding.
