Wordpress 3.7: the automatic updates for minor versions

The new version of the WordPress publishing platform has been online. This version 3.7 was eagerly awaited as it brings a major new feature: automatic updates without the user having to worry about the procedure. A move that will quickly clog including security breaches on all blogs involved.

Wordpress 3.7 is now available for users of this platform. One of the main innovations is that minor updates maintenance will be done automatically. For example, 3.7.1, 3.7.2 and so on versions will be installed without the user having to take care itself of the procedure. This is a significant change since the maintenance versions are often used to release patches when vulnerabilities are identified in the code.

Note that this automated update is specific to minor versions. So when the released version 3.8, the user will always take care of itself.

 

Another welcome improvement: automatic translation. If you for example set your site in English, Wordpress now recovers files translation, including the installed themes. The new version also allows you to better understand the level of security of a password. Like many other online services, the choice of the user is accompanied by a color code: red for "low", yellow for "medium" and green for "high."

 

Finally, research is also changing. Users who use the fields available on the Wordpress site will be more limited and the classification by dates since the relevance enters. Note that the official announcement, the team reports that Wordpress developers have controls to manage these new features, including mechanisms for automatic updates.
