WordPress updates

WordPress 3.8.3 was released on April 14, and WordPress sites with Auto Updates enabled should have been silently updated. In some cases, the 3.8.3 update may not have had time to auto-update before WordPress became available yesterday.

WordPress 3.8.3 fixes a minor bug that was introduced in the previous release, 3.8.2.

WordPress 3.9 makes several significant changes to the handling of media files, and makes it a bit easier for developers to experiment with widgets.

Neither release apparently includes any security fixes.

About jrivett

Jeff Rivett has worked with and written about computers since the early 1980s. His first computer was an Apple II+, built by his father and heavily customized. Jeff's writing appeared in Computist Magazine in the 1980s, and he created and sold a game utility (Ultimaker 2, reviewed in the December 1983 Washington Apple Pi Journal) to international markets during the same period. Proceeds from writing, software sales, and contract programming gigs paid his way through university, earning him a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) degree at UWO. Jeff went on to work as a programmer, sysadmin, and manager in various industries. There's more on the About page, and on the Jeff Rivett Consulting site.
