WordPress 2.0.6

[oubipaws]

is the beta stable enough yet or are there alot of problems?

The beta is probably stable enough for the average non-essential blog, but plugin support may be lacking.

I use very few plugins (adsense and top commenters), outside of that, I pull about 10,000 hits a month (not heavy traffic). You think the beta would be able to handle it?

I went ahead with 2.1 Beta 1. Works pretty well, I just had a few issues with template tags I didn't use correctly, and I had to fix a plugin that I had modified. I like the new login screen ... I wish they'd make a new Site Admin. :p

I use a plugin that makes the admin look snazzy...better then that plain look :shifty:

A folder called backup-db in the plugins folder.

Soon, according to http://trac.wordpress.org/roadmap they have almost finished it, although there will be a few beta's first.

And this is far from being an operating system.

And this is far from being 4 years in a beta. The premises still stands. What with this being a non-funded project, and the amount of peoples work and time being much less compared to, as I say - An operating system. A year in beta doesn't sound too shoddy.

Anyway, that's besides the point - it's been proved otherwise.

If you wanna try out the beta, but don't wanna upload it to your site, here is a good guide on how to install wordpress locally (under XP). Very useful stuff.

Manual WordPress upgrades are easy - compare your current blog installation with stock 2.0.5 (or whatever version you have), and then apply differences to fresh copy of 2.0.6 (I use WinMerge for this).

Great program, I updated my blog with it. The new version seems pretty much the same as the old one though, it seemed to be mostly minor changes in some of the functions.
