iOS developer Automattic is proud to introduce version 2.6.3 of WordPress for iOS, an update to the blogging app, now available in the App Store. According to the people at WordPress.org, the new version of WordPress for iOS includes tons of bug and crash fixes, as well as some performance improvements.

Automattic believes “It's easy to manage your WordPress blog or site from your iOS device."

“With WordPress for iOS, you can moderate comments, create or edit posts and pages, and add images or videos with ease. All you need is a WordPress.com blog or a self-hosted WordPress.org site running 2.9.2 or higher,” the developer explains.

Here’s what WordPress claims to have "put in a box and wrapped up for you, just in time for the holidays:"

- Fix for multisite login issue. - Fix for crash when deleting media items. - Fix for occasional “Communication Error” for WordPress.org sites. - Fix for crash when selecting Pages tab after deleting a draft. - Fix for crash when entering settings during blog setup. - Fix for issues when uploading videos to WordPress.com without a VideoPress upgrade. - Fix for occasional NSXMLParserErrorDomain error for WordPress.org sites. - Fix for favicon refresh issues. - Fix for incorrect permissions related to contributors and publishing. - Fix for crash when replying to comments. - Fix for HTTP Auth setting incorrectly set to on by default. - Improvements in XML-RPC handling. - Several other minor patches and fixes.

The makers of WordPress are eager to check out your feedback.

In the meanwhile, they said they would be keeping busy working up a help guide as they prepare for the next release.

According to the Chris Boyd from WordPress, development has already started on the next update.

“If you feel like 2.6.3 is an improvement over the previous release, feel free to leave us a review in iTunes to let everyone else know that they should upgrade,” Boyd writes.
