WPMU Snapshot
New WPMU snapshot:
Changes:
I removed several options not required in a multi-blog environment and introduced a bug that blanked the siteurl when any of the general options was changed. Fixed.
Lots of changes to WP Core too.
The WPMU admin manager should be considered very experimental – don’t run on a production server or very bad things will happen!
