Fantastico 2.10.4 Released
Netenberg has released version 2.10.4 r12 of their popular one click install package called Fantastico De Luxe. Fantastico De Luxe is the most widely used application installer throughout the webhosting industry. One of the reasons why it is so popular is that it gives users the ability to skip the process of uploading files and configuring databases and instead, replaces the process with a much simpler one step process.
Many WordPress installations have been performed through Fantastico. However, there are a few disadvantages when installing WordPress in this fashion. First, when WordPress releases an update, the folks at Netenberg have to go through the update and add it into the new version of Fantastico. The amount of time this takes can vary, but I believe if the release contains significant security patches, the Netenberg team tries their best to get the update out as soon as possible. Another disadvantage is the time it takes from when the new version of Fastastico is released to when your web host upgrades. Not all web hosts are on the same time frame. But I know that Fantastico does have a central server that dedicated webhosting servers can hook up to in order to pull down the latest upgrades.
At any rate, the new release of Fantastico contains an update script to take your WordPress install from 2.3.1 to 2.3.2. So be sure to check out your own Cpanel to see if the upgrade is available.
