Wordpress 2.5 Released

Well, Wordpress 2.5 has been finally released after all the fiasco of skipping 2.4 release, and also postponing 2.5 quite many times.

It has got some new features, like image gallery, multi-uploads, and what nots. Read the official release for more information. For a shorter perspective from a pro-blogger, read Mayank's commentary on the 2.5 release.

This post, like the other one on Drupal 6 release, is just my foot print on the ever growing web, on developments of OS projects that I use.

But here is something more.

To Upgrade Or Not To

If you are well versed with PHP, database and the likes, and like to be on the bleeding edge, go ahead and upgrade. It is a stable release, and even if there are glitches, you know how to jump across it.

On the other hand, if you are just plain lazy, or touch these PHP/MySQL stuff with only a ten feet pole, then hold on to your 2.3 Wordpress blogs for a while. Like a week to three weeks, because if there is any glitches, they should get fixed pretty quick.

If any of your blog is anywhere less than 2.3, then you would better have a good reason to stay on that version. My advice is, upgrade to atleast 2.3 - now!
