It has been probably the longest time (64 days) since wordpress issued a new version of their blogging platform. The previous version WordPress 2.3.1 was released back in October.
Form WordPress 2.3.2 release page
WordPress 2.3.2 is an urgent security release that fixes a bug that can be used to expose your draft posts. 2.3.2 also suppresses some error messages that can give away information about your database table structure and limits and stops some information leaks in the XML-RPC and APP implementations. Get 2.3.2 now to protect your blog from these disclosures.
As a little bonus, 2.3.2 allows you to define a custom DB error page. Place your custom template at wp-content/db-error.php. If WP has a problem connecting to your database, this page will displayed rather than the default error message.
I’m not sure how useful the custom DB error page will be for some people. As far as I’m concerned, wordpress has never failed my DB before.
