Upgrade to WordPress 2.5
The long-awaited WordPress 2.5 was released this weekend, and of course I just had to try it.
The upgrade process is as easy as always:
- Make a backup,
- Deactivate your plugins,
- Overwrite your current WordPress directory from the downloaded TARball,
- Login and run the automatic upgrade scipt,
- Activate your plugins,
- Done!
The admin interface is quite different when you log in, but the new dashboard is easy to get used to and use, so no major learning curve ahead. I found all the features I used before very quickly, and everything works fine as expected. For my blog the upgrade broke nothing in my customisation, so the upgrade was extremely painless.
