[Jens Van Assterdam]

Not yet, but within the next 24hours so make sure you update all your blogs. Before your going to fuck everything up, make sure your current plugins are compatible to the latest wp release

Why upgrade? They'll just add lots of bugs there, will wait for 2.5.2

[Jens Van Assterdam]

It has been a busy week again for WordPress 2.5, the changes this week were:

* Changes to make sure that a plugin is a file before loading (#5822).
* Addition of a new hooks called 'submit{post|page|link}_box' in the submit boxes (#5873).
* Add optional $post_ID argument to the_category() and get_the_category_list() (#5050).
* Changes to make user option name sanitization consistent (#5901).
* Introduction of a new 'admin_init' action to allow plugins to do admin panel specific initialisation (#5924).
* A change to not save translated role names to the Database. Instead, translating them on the fly. (#3442 #5537).
* A new 'pre_post_update' action that runs just prior to saving an edited post (#5815).
* Allow the comment object to be passed to get_avatar() for convenience (#5775).
* Changes to make sure post has future status before publishing from cron (#5801).
* Addition of bulk role change to the User management page ([6990]).
* Update to TinyMCE v3.01 (#5944).
* Work on an automated installer for plugins (#5586).
* Lots of work on the new media library (#5911).

I've got to say I am not too impressed with the look of the new admin area, especially for writing posts.

I think I will lose a lot of productivity because of the layout.

[Violetta]

mine works fine as it is...

Nice one, just doesnt work over here Activated the plugin but nothing changes.. cleared cache, tried different browser, but nada

[Dennis69]

Here we go again... I hate Wordpress!

[evildick]

Are there a bunch of security fixes this time?

I really don't feel like upgrading everything again, unless there are some important security fixes.

[Shaze]

i think i'll wait awhile.

I got the same thing:

this is the message on that link

"Say What?

Sorry, the page you?re looking for isn?t here. But don?t lose hope. You can search or browse for what you?re looking for in the archives."

Another update... Jeezzzz! I need to hire someone just for updates someday...

I am not touching my running 2.3.3 release with a 10 feet pole. Everything works as intended and I don't want to run the risk of having my custom plugins stop working.

WorpPress has put food on my table. Can't complain.

[Boobs]

they come out with an update every week, its pretty annoying

[LivePornBlog]

It is free open source software though, lets be happy they keep developing it. Now I don't know about this next release but time to test er out on a sample blog

[Forkbeard]

I tend to update a working wordpress install only when it fails me, usually when I want to add a plug-in that needs a newer version.

Updating just because there's a new version out is a mug's game.

Does anyone know if any plugins are effected?

I hated when updating earlier versions and plugins how it would break my links so it was a big hassle

all of these updates are getting annoying, I don't have the time for this

anyone have any luck with alternatives? textpattern maybe?

[cherrylula]

blogger is so much better, wordpress such a hassle.

[TheSenator]

Would Apache 2.2 with PHP 5.2.5 work good with the latest WordPress?
I am thinking of upgrading.

What are you guys currently running now?
