Wordpress 2.0.3 Released (June 1, 2006)
 

For all you blog site operators out there... if you haven't already, venture on over to Wordpress.org Downloads and get their latest 2.0.3 release. I didn't realize there was a new version out until recently and got my blogs upgraded.

Don't screw up the upgrade ;)

Shit!! Now Fantastico is saying I dont have a License.

Dont upgrade just yet.....

anybody else upgraded?

I'm not touching it, I've heard of a few bug/glitches found already...

thanks for the remind ;)

Where did you hear that?

Wordpress doesn't release non-RC without knowing it's stable. I've never once hesitated to upgrade it to a production release (non beta/release candidate).

That is your host's problem - not yours. If you try upgrading anything via Fantastico and there is a problem, this is an issue with Fantastico.

Waiting for more feedback myself, before deciding even to download it :winkwink:

Bump For Wordpress :)

I'm kinda scared to upgrade and loose my template and database heh

why should you upgrade anyway .. what are the features??

The main 'feature' here I guess is the "wehahaha8217;ve also backported a number of security enhancements from 2.1 to further enhance and protect your blog." bit.

Well, this is why I usually just make a full copy of my wordpress directory before upgrading:So if the upgrade screws up the site, all you have to do is copy the backup directory back as the original directory.

Download the tar.gz to the directory where your wordpress is thenThis will overwrite to all your files in the ./wordpress/ directory but this will only overwrite all the default wordpress files and will not delete or change anything else. Only if you have actually manually edited one of wordpress's core files then you'll need to edit it again but with so many plugins and widgets for wordpress out lately no one hardly needs to edit the main files.

Read my original post, I've copy-pasted the general information about why 2.0.3 was released. Basically security fixes and bug fixes.

Thank you for reminding me.
The upgrade was already on my shortlist

hmmm - i've got some seriously old versions of wordpress on a few sites because i just can't stand the new admin area - drives me nucking futs!

What's wrong with it? It just looks fancier because of the ajax implementation but overall it is practically the exact same admin interface as version 1.x.

Kind of have to weight the importance of security and you having to deal with the admin area. I'd be more focused on the former. :winkwink:

Thanks bro!

dreamhost has a convenient one click install and upgrade, so when a new version comes out you only have to click and it brings you to date, and leaves a backup copy in case it screws up.

I'll wait a while anyhow, there are always some small teething troubles

you make it sound like if that was a unheard or unique feature..

ever heard about Fantastico & Cpanel? :1orglaugh
