Hot on the heels of the latest and greatest WordPress 3.3.0 upgrade (named Sonny after Sonny Stitt?) there is now WordPress 3.3.1.  Now we know that after any major release (and 3.3.0 was a major release) that there rapidly follows at least one (usually more) updates with bug fixes issued for maintenance and security purposes.  This maintenance release fixes 15 issues with WordPress 3.3, as well as a fix for a cross-site scripting vulnerability that affected version 3.3.We are now recommending anyone that has a WordPress website, which we aren’t looking after, updates their software as soon as possible. Anyone that has a site and in a support and maintenance contract with us will be updated as soon as we have tested the latest 3.3.1 version thoroughly as we updated all the sites to 3.3.0 over the Christmas holidays.

WordPress 3.3.0 made some major changes to the way that the admin side of the site functioned in particular, including fly out hover menus, the new tool bar (see the top of the screen), the single media drag and drop uploader.  Helpful tips that show the new features and how to use them have been integrated and there was also an update for the iPad and other tablets.
