WordPress 2.3.1 is now available. 2.3.1 is a bug-fix and security release for the 2.3 series.
2.3.1 fixes over twenty bugs. Some of the notable fixes are:
- Tagging support for Windows Live Writer
- Faster taxonomy database queries, especially tag intersection queries
- Link importer fixes
- Fixes for a login bug that affected those with a Blog Address different than their WordPress Address
Unfortunately, some security issues were found in 2.3.
There was an XSS problem that can be exploited if your php setup has register_globals enabled. For this reason, upgrading to 2.3.1 is advised.
Get WordPress 2.3.1 from the download page and enjoy.

Earlier today the WordPress development team released two security-related distributions available for both users of the main 2.2 branch and the legacy 2.0 branch of WordPress.
According to the official release notes:
As these releases include only security and minor bugfixes they should not cause any plugin or theme compatibility issues, so you have no good excuse not to upgrade.
If you’re running WordPress, be sure to download the latest release. It only takes a moment and the upgrade process is really easy.
