Almost a month since initial release we have finally received a long expected bug fix update. But looks like WordPress 2.3.1 addressing more then just a few bugs but also a security issue. While that security problem only impacts people whose host still have register_globals enabled (shouldn’t be too many) it is still worth updating.
There is much already written on the topic and but one of the best ways to learn is to hit one of the sources. Peter provides all the details on what is been addressed in this release and reading through his blog it appears that at least some of the enhancements slated for 2.4 release made it in here as well.

I tried the instant upgrade plugin for the 2.3.1 update but it got an error
I guess I’ll have to do it manually seeing as there are security issues with 2.3
thanks for the reminder

@Andy, yeah … I’ve seen on his plugin page that issues were reported. Idea for the plugin is great but when it comes to core updates - I stick to basics.
@Ester, It’s not as bad as it seems
and well worth the effort! In my personal opinion self-hosted WordPress is absolutely unbeatable in features and I do offer a package that makes it even simpler for non-technical people (shameless promo 
)

it happens with an error to do with pclzip so I searched for that term in my plugins folder and found that the pmetrics plugin also uses it, deactivate the pmetrics and the instantupgrade works.
now I’m at 2.3.1!
