In the words of Kosh Naranek “..and so it begins”:
“On behalf of the WordPress.org community of commiters, contributers, and volunteers, I’m very proud to announce the immediate availability of WordPress 2.1 ‘Ella’, named for jazz vocalist Ella Fitzgerald.” ~ via Development Blog
There are simply too many “new and improved” features to mention, however I would strongly advise that a quick check of plugin compatibility should be the first order of business, followed by a complete backup of everythingtm before any upgrade is attempted.
For my part — I’ll not be upgrading for the time being, as the move from Wordpress version 2.0.x to 2.1.x will be a large jump and right now a few of the more critical plugins in use, are not compatible and I’d also rather preferring to see what becomes of Habari before committing to any Wordpress upgrade.
During the weekend I will also be testing sig2feed and broadleaf against 2.1 to check their respective compatibilities.
