jesus fuck, update AGAIN? how many of my plugins are gonna drop dead this time?

not so sure i'm gonna go rushing into this yet.

edit: The "custom post type" feature sounds interesting.

KICKASS. It literally just got released.

I've been waiting for it to hit a stable release point.

[digifan]

But are there any good themes updated for it? With Christmas coming it can be a mistake to update your wp version this fast.

[LoveSandra]

fucking wordpress

[JamesK]

fuck... I installed 2.8.6 on a few domains today. guess I have to upgrade it already

[CPimp]

Fris, come onto ICQ.

[Waddymelon]

Has anyone tested this with Thesis 1.6 yet?

[born2blog]

I'll just wait until tomorrow when the next version is released LMAO

[Iron Fist]

Man when are they going to make the damn blog update itself already.

Man when are they going to make the damn blog update itself already.

now that would be a genuine disaster

i'll be sticking with 2.8.6 probably into the new year unless something forces me into an update earlier. holding out to see what sort of issues arise yet. if my blogs were auto-updating on me i'd be a little irate.

i'm sure they'd give you the option though if you'd like that though. still don't see it happening. i know what you're getting at tough...

frick...mine just got updated less than a week ago.

It's about time they added thumbnails!

[Davy]

I just installed it and tried to use thumbnails.
It says function not found (even after adding some stuff to the theme's functions file that is supposed to activate this).
Wordpress = FAIL

What is this wordpress you speak of? Can I use it as a sex toy?

The cropping/resizing feature and post thumbnails. Looks like this release was made specially for adult blogging needs.

[fatfoo]

Wordpress 2.9 - that's cool.

[Horny Dude]

Another thing I will add to my New Years Resolution list, "Update blogs to WP2.9"

Install Disable WordPress Core Update and/or Disable WordPress Plugin Updates plugin(s) and rest in piss.

[knighterrant]

update few blogs - everything is ok

[adult-help]

Yeah, same here. No problems yet in both upgrade and usage.

[Brujah]

Fix some bugs in the 2.9 upgrade that may break your RSS and Scheduled posts, pings, etc... (Simplepie, Curl)
