### 󠀁[Maintenance updates](https://wordpress.org/documentation/wordpress-version/version-5-3-2/?output_format=md#maintenance-updates)󠁿

Shortly after [WordPress 5.3.1 was released](https://wordpress.org/news/2019/12/wordpress-5-3-1-security-and-maintenance-release/),
a couple of high severity Trac tickets were opened. The Core team scheduled this
quick maintenance release to resolve these issues.

Main issues addressed in 5.3.2:

 * Date/Time: Ensure that `get_feed_build_date()` correctly handles a modified post
   object with invalid date.
 * Uploads: Fix file name collision in `wp_unique_filename()` when uploading a file
   with upper case extension on non case-sensitive file systems.
 * Media: Fix PHP warnings in `wp_unique_filename()` when the destination directory
   is unreadable.
 * Administration: Fix the colors in all color schemes for buttons with the `.active`
   class.
 * Tests/build tools: In `wp_insert_post()`, when checking the post date to set `
   future` or `publish` status, use a proper delta comparison.
