WordPress 3.2 RC3 and 3.1.4 are waiting in your Dashboards

Once those core updates show up there’s only really one way to get rid of them, once and for all: update. Today we have something for the whole family: a security release in 3.1.4 and another release candidate for the upcoming 3.2.

Ryan Boren posted the news this afternoon, along with a bit of background on the security release in 3.1.4:

This release fixes an issue that could allow a malicious Editor-level user to gain further access to the site. Thanks K. Gudinavicius of SEC Consult for bringing this to our attention. Version 3.1.4 also incorporates several other security fixes and hardening measures thanks to the work of WordPress developers Alexander Concha and Jon Cave of our security team. Consult the change log for more details.

Hit those eager upgrade buttons for 3.1.4, and bring your testing sites up to speed with 3.2 RC3. If you aren’t sure whether you’re ready for 3.2 yet (your plugins as well as your hosting requirements), then, well, what have you been doing?

Adii Pienaar teases Miniraffe, an upcoming studio to produce WordPress goodies

Adii Pienaar of WooThemes and Radiiate fame teased a new project this morning on Twitter. It’s called Miniraffe, features a cute yellow giraffe floating on a cloud, and describes itself as “a tiny studio dedicated to producing first-class WordPress goodies.”

Pienaar is working on the new project with James Koster and Mike Jolley, who WooThemes collaborated with on their FaultPress theme release earlier this year.

There isn’t much to go on right now—just the email subscription form sitting amongst the leaves on their landing page right now—but we can still make up our own crazy theories right? That’s sort of what we do. Although we can likely rule out a business plan revolving around the airborne transport of large African mammals. Most likely.

Your turn: what do you think Pienaar and company have planned for Miniraffe?

Page.ly invades San Francisco WordPress Meetup, emerges with video

Click here to view the embedded video.

A few brave folks from Page.ly have moved from their home base of Phoenix, Arizona to San Francisco for the next month or so. While there they are taking up the task of capturing some of what WordPress means in San Francisco and bringing it back with them. They’re doing so mostly via recording interviews and meetups, though straight up kidnapping wouldn’t surprise me much either.

The video above was recorded at last night’s San Francisco WordPress Meetup, held at the Automattic offices. Beau Lebens of Automattic is featured in the video, as well as a handful of the AppThemes crew. GraphPaperPress gets a mention, as does—what’s this?—our very own sweet-toothed WordPress news site.

Of course I don’t really think Page.ly would kidnap human beings. Even if they were human beings that love WordPress.

Probably.
