A few scant weeks after the last release, this maintenance version brings some fixes for issues introduced in 4.6.1. The main one is setting the version string correctly in the database during the upgrade process, which otherwise had a tendency to hang on the Languages panel if your site wasn’t in Live mode during the upgrade.
There are also a few CSS tweaks and minor bug fixes, as well as restoring broken RPC functionality, which those of you using desktop blogging editors such as MarsEdit will have noticed.
