WordPress 3.8.1 Maintenance Release

After six weeks and more than 9.3 million downloads of WordPress 3.8, weโ€™re pleased to announce WordPress 3.8.1 is now available and we strongly encourage you to update your sites immediately.

Version 3.8.1 is a maintenance release that addresses 31 bugs in 3.8, including various fixes and improvements for the new dashboard design and new themes admin screen. An issue with taxonomy queries in WP_Query was resolved. And if youโ€™ve been frustrated by submit buttons that wonโ€™t do anything when you click on them (or thought you were going crazy, like some of us), weโ€™ve found and fixed this โ€œdead zoneโ€ on submit buttons.

It also contains a fix for embedding tweets (by placing the URL to the tweet on its own line), which was broken due to a recent Twitter API change. (For more on Embeds, see the Codex.)

For a full list of changes, consult the list of tickets and the changelog. Thereโ€™s also a detailed summary for developers on the development blog.

If you are one of the millions already running WordPress 3.8, we will start rolling out automatic background updates for WordPress 3.8.1 in the next few hours. For sites that support them, of course.

Download WordPress 3.8.1 or venture over to Dashboard ? Updates and simply click โ€œUpdate Now.โ€
