Just one short week after the first release of Ghost, today I'm pleased to announce Ghost 0.3.1, which is a maintenance release.

We always knew that after some rigorous testing by thousands of people, we would inevitably find some issues in the first release. Today, we're releasing fixes for those issues.

How to Upgrade

Upgrade documentation can be found at http://docs.ghost.org/installation#upgrade

Please note: this release also includes updates to the default theme: Casper. Please be sure to also upgrade Casper.

Following a week of feedback from all of you, a lot of bug-fixing, and some careful planning - we are now ready to share that our planned public launch date is October 14th, 2013. If all goes to plan, on this date we will flick the Github repository over to 'public' and open up signups for Ghost.org.

Existing users can download today's release, Ghost 0.3.1, from the Ghost.org download page.
