Don&#8217;t let the small version bump fool you, this release is packed with new features. Without further ado:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>300% speedup<\/strong> &#8212; We&#8217;re not kidding, this release will perform about three times (or more) faster than previous releases of WordPress and b2.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Post status<\/strong> &#8212; Every post can now have three states of being: publish, draft, and private. Publish is just like it was before, drafts are stored in the database and display in a special place on your edit screen, and private entries are viewable only by the author. This allows a degree of flexibility in workflow, allowing different people to work on the same post.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Comments status<\/strong> &#8212; Comments and pings can now be individually enabled or disabled on a per-post basis. The templates reflect this as well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combined Trackbacks, Pingbacks, and Comments<\/strong> &#8212; They&#8217;re all comments anyway, and now they display as such. This means cleaner templates and less software cruft crowding your beautiful design.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Security fixes<\/strong> &#8212; This release addresses a problem that could potentially allow SQL injection for users of MySQL 4 and above, as well as removes a vulnerable file. (If you overwrite your old installation, make sure to delete <code>links.all.php<\/code>)<\/li>\n<li><strong>OPML import<\/strong> &#8212; Import links into the link manager from OPML format, including from blogrolling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ezSQL database functions<\/strong> &#8212; Using <a href=\"http:\/\/justinvincent.com\/home\/articles.php?articleId=2\" title=\"Information about the ezSQL database class\">ezSQL<\/a> has cleaned up the code quite a bit, sped it up a little, and will make it that much easier to add support for other databases beside MySQL in the future.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cleaner, smoother administration<\/strong> &#8212; We&#8217;ve polished up all the administration screens to be even faster and easier to use, particularly the Links Manager.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean upgrades<\/strong> &#8212; Upgrading from b2 or a previous version of WordPress is a cinch, and we&#8217;re working on upgrade paths for users of other software.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Links weblogs.com checking<\/strong> &#8212; When checking for updated links it is now looser in what it matches so miniscule differences in the URL won&#8217;t prevent it from updating.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bug fixes galore<\/strong> &#8212; Over twenty bugs have been smitten from the code.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So upgrade while it&#8217;s hot. What better way to spend a slow Monday?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 0.71 release of WordPress is now officially available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","filesize_raw":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-releases"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pZhYe-o","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10438,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24\/revisions\/10438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
