Synology WordPress 5.9.1

Synology WordPress 5.9.1

On February 22, 2021, WordPress 5.9.1Ā was released to the public. This version is available for ā€œdownloadā€ from wordpress.org and not in the Synology Package Center. So, if you want to download and install WordPressĀ 5.9.1Ā on your Synology NAS, you have to follow my step by step guide onĀ how to manually update a new version of WordPress in your Synology. I recommend everyone use the official version of WordPress on their NAS until Synology ā€˜restarts its engineā€™ in the package upgrading process.

This security and maintenance release features 33 bug fixes on Core, as well as 52 bug fixes for the Block Editor.

These bugs affect WordPress version 5.9 and all older version since 3.7, so youā€™ll want to upgrade. WordPress 5.9.1Ā is a short-cycle maintenance release. The next major release will beĀ WordPress 6.0 and will be released to the general public on May, 2022.

To see a full list of changes, you can browse theĀ 5.9.1Ā documentation page.
