WordPress 2.9.1 released – Bunch of bug fixes!

Hey all — New version of WordPress has been released.  Just about three weeks after the release of WordPress 2.9, version 2.9.1 hits the street with several bug fixes.

Grab your upgrade at WordPress.org or use your auto-update feature (after backing up your database, of course).
