wordpress.org — Automattic released it's new version of WordPress today. 2.0.6 contains security fixes, and other notable updates. This release will be the last until 2.1 (which is in beta) comes out. Although they are planning to keep 2.0.x active for Debian, they will update at a faster pace for 2.1. Check Mark Jaquith's site for the changed file package.

That's what I set our local radio station up with. I have a WordPress blog running as a CMS that will update their homepage via an rss to html script with the news stories. It works smooth for both the radio station and the visitors.

It's not all that hard to make a very simple blog posting software of your own. But the keyword there is "very simple". To make something as full featured as WordPress would take you _ages_.And why re-invent the wheel anyway?

Is it worth it to upgrade?

Yes it's worth it, there are security fixes, and the upgrade process is usually trivial (because the plugin and theme systems keep user changes outside of the core code).
