The hard working folks at WordPress.org have not taken the holidays off. In fact, news broke on Friday of a bug that allowed a would-be hacker access to future, draft, and pending posts.
But WordPress.org has unleashed WordPress 2.3.2 and has labeled the update an "Urgent Security Release". If you are the purveyor of a WordPress blog, we'd suggest you run right out and update. To get the latest version of WordPress, head over to their download page and install the update.
As an added bonus, WordPress 2.3.2 allows you to define your own custom Database Error Page. At last. No more canned page that screams "I don't know how to configure MySQL"!
We say thanks to WordPress.org for responding quickly to bugs reported just a few days ago!

I found a new bug, it eats your scheduled posts.
I just lost my first post after the upgrade. Thanks
