Your Managed WordPress sites are normally updated to the latest version of WordPress within 48 hours — the automatic update system is a great tool that ensures your site remains up-to-date against any potential threats or security exploits, as well as receiving new features as quickly as possible.

However, WordPress recently released a number of back-to-back updates — due to the unusually short timeframe between releases, we will not be releasing 4.2 to Managed WordPress customers. Instead, we will release 4.2.1 within the typical 48-hour timeframe.

4.1.2 Security release April 21 April 23
4.2 General feature release April 23 Included in 4.2.1 release by April 29
