Site updated to WordPress 3.1.2

Blogs.mtroyal.ca has been updated to the latest version of WordPress. This fixed a security problem that allowed contributor-role users of multi-user blogs to post without proper review of their posts by a publisher/administrator. Three minor bugfixes were also included.

Additionally, the WPTouch plugin was updated with additional phones supported.

Upgrade completed.

As of 09:57, the upgrade to WordPress 3.1 has been completed. Please email blogsmgr@mtroyal.ca if you find any issues with the site.

Upgrade scheduled Friday, April 1

On Friday April 1, blogs.mtroyal.ca will be upgraded to WordPress version 3.1. This is a feature release, and so you will notice changes to the appearance of your admin panel and the addition of other new features. A full list of the changes is available here:

Only a very brief outage is expected, likely in the range of a few seconds. If something goes wrong there could be a somewhat longer outage of 10-15 minutes to revert back to the current version.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email blogsmgr@mtroyal.ca.

Site software updated

The blogs.mtroyal.ca site software has been updated to WordPress version 3.0.5 due to a security update. Only security changes were included in this update, so there should be no visible differences or changes in normal use.
