I’ve upgraded the site today to WordPress’ latest version: WordPress 2.5, Release Candidate 2 (RC2). In case you’re curious to see what’s new with the latest version, you can check it out over at the WordPress development blog.
The admin interface has changed substantially (and it seems much more pastel, but maybe it’s just me), with more emphasis being placed on the dashboard as a place to launch functionality from.
Nothing much should change on your end, the site should look basically the same as it did before (with the excpetion of the tag cloud, which looks a bit different, due to the fact that 2.5 RC2 broke Ultimate Tag Warrior, which was outdated a long time ago anyway).
So if you notice anything broken/breaking/on fire, please let me know and I’ll try to get to it as soon as I can (I haven’t thoroughly tested everything, I’m just crossing my fingers that nothing broke). Thanks!

I just upgraded my blog as well. I’m definitely impressed with the new admin interface. The best feature in my mind is the single-click plugin upgrade. That definitely saves some key maintenance time.

The single-click plugin upgrade is brilliant! I’ve been waiting for that feature for a long time — no more having to log into my webhost and FTP files.
Now if only there was a one-click Wordpress upgrade…

I use WP Automatic Upgrade for upgrading WordPress itself. It worked beautifully last night when I upgraded to 2.5.

I’ll have to try that out. I had heard of it, but had never actually bothered trying it, since I hadn’t really heard any firsthand feedback (now that I have, I’ll give it a shot).
I wonder if the WordPress automatic upgrade tool will make it into the next version of WordPress (let’s hope so)?
