When a CMS runs 60%+ of the web, it is of utmost importance to continuously update the underlying code and make the code both more feature rich and also safe from current security issues.

WordPress is run largely by volunteer contributors, including those who contribute to the core code base of WordPress. Every month various teams of contributors will work together to release maintenance updates, security updates and major updates.

This is an ongoing listing of these updates. Check to see what version of WordPress and update if needed!
