It?s new release time. The latest in our venerable 2.0 series, which now counts over 1.2 million downloads, is available for download immediately, and we suggest everyone upgrade athis includes security fixesb>. We?re breaking the tradition of naming releases after jazz musicians to congratulate Ryan Boren on his new son (and first WP baby) Ronan.

What?s new? We have about 50 or so bugfixes, which you can review on our dev tracker here, mostly minor bug fixes around feeds, custom fields, and internationalization. If you?d like a nitty-gritty view, check out Mark?s blog post on the changes.

Thanks, all i need now is a free Wordpress host, the best one around, any idea?

I don't know of any good free hosts. But you could always get a free blog at www.wordpress.com You don't get the ability to customize it as much (I think), but hey, it's free and they do all the maintenance for you.

how do you upgrade a previous version of wordpress to the latest?

Very, very carefully ;)

I would read through these instructions before attempting the upgrade.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress

Note: The upgrade instructions themselves haven't been updated yet to detail an upgrade from 2.04 to 2.05. They should be pretty close though. At the very least, I would backup your database.

I'm still not sure what happened when I tried updating mine. But I hope to figure it out soon.

Thanks for the heads up. Now I have to find the one damn core file I edit for my template. I always forget which one it is lol.

Warning: main(./Forums/conf_global.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /.../index.php on line 104 :cry:

yup....it must has been the wrong core file :whistle:

Well, that's not good. It was working fine before and I haven't touched anything since.

edit: seems like it was a server hiccup. 2 connections were left unproperly closed to my database. Just had to do a quick repair and it works.

It'll take alot more than bugfixes to make me want to go through the trouble of upgrading again.

Unless you customize core files, there's almost no hassle at all. Not upgrading is very detrimental to your setup, especially when someone decides they don't like you.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
