- learnseolive, on 07/15/2008, -1/+67I can't believe that 2.6 is out already it seems like I just upgraded to 2.5.
- photomatt, on 07/15/2008, -0/+28The first person to find it was a guy in Germany (a Textpattern developer, actually) and we already sent him a gift pack. :)

* You can now have many thousands of pages or categories with no interface issues.
* Ability to move your wp-config file and wp-content directories to a custom location, for “clean” SVN checkouts.

me Pe ereevivws - Archon810, on 07/15/2008, -0/+12For the lazy (or not affording to spend time looking but still curious, like me): http://hotbiscuits.wordpress.com/2008/07/13/amazin ...
- SniperZero, on 07/15/2008, -0/+11Just remember wp-cache :). Or else the digg effect will get you.
- flamingduck, on 07/15/2008, -0/+10Thanks Captain Obvious
- DD32, on 07/15/2008, -1/+10Ah, But that really depends on how long people leave it to upgrade :P Not all of us Jump ship straight away... (Says he who runs trunk svn'd up every few days)
- theadvinci, on 07/15/2008, -1/+10I always wait some time until I upgrade WordPress, because this way I won't have to deal with bugs that have no solutions yet. If 2.5 was good enough for me until now... then it will be good enough for a few more weeks.
- alexleonard, on 07/15/2008, -0/+8Absolutely fantastic news. They're going from strength to strength. I love it!
- prattmic, on 07/15/2008, -0/+8It is...
- halukakin, on 07/15/2008, -0/+8Wow. What's happenning to Wordpress? These are awesome developments with great speed.
- MtheoryX, on 07/15/2008, -0/+8That's assuming you have any content worth digging on your site. I know I never do.
- AgentPeay, on 07/15/2008, -0/+7I had the most incredible experience last night as I was trying to fix video upload issues with 2.5.1. I tinkered with php.ini and .htaccess and permissions for an hour or so, and scrolled back to my wget for latest.tar.gz and pulled a new copy down to refresh (and check my md5).. and to my surprise I suddenly had 2.6. I have never experienced an "instant" upstream fix... now i want more.
- hadak, on 07/15/2008, -0/+7Let's just...make a quick backup before overwriting all my files...
- NoMoreNinj4s, on 07/15/2008, -0/+6Moveable Type was open sourced a little while back and that supports SQLite, as does Habari.
- asxy, on 07/15/2008, -1/+7thanks to developers
- chrisbaskind, on 07/15/2008, -0/+6Yeah, that was fun, Morpheus. Matt, 2.6 is quite good. thanks.
- moryabdi, on 07/15/2008, -0/+6upgraded in 5 minute :D no problem :) thanks wordpress
- awflasher, on 07/15/2008, -0/+6Cong!
The Google Gears involving really speed up WP - anthonymcg, on 07/15/2008, -1/+6Good stuff. Going to install it this evening. I like the Gears support.
- sweetBeats, on 07/15/2008, -1/+6Hey! Thats my blog! Awesome. :)
- ShustOne, on 07/15/2008, -0/+5Wow, that was really constructive. I like how you have examples to show us what you mean. What's cool too is that you didn't just criticize, you gave us evidence as to why your argument is valid. And you totally didn't attack us! You truly are an amazing commenter.
- samuel514, on 07/15/2008, -0/+5Definitly a great release with few bug correction from the 2.5, definitly looking for an upgrade :)
- arobar, on 07/15/2008, -3/+8I hear newspapers are still based on the print-and-distribute method instead of live calls to a DB. Could be just a myth though, it's a been a long time since I've seen one of those.
- Nightfall, on 07/15/2008, -0/+5When I switched from Livejournal to Wordpress, I was hesitant. However, after trying out Blogger and a host of other blogging sites and installations, I was desperate to find something that was easy and had a ton of features. That was over a year and a half ago. Today, Wordpress on my site is just awesome. I love the plugins. I love the themes. Best of all, I love the community. This new version is just another step in the way that Wordpress continues to evolve.
- fumblr, on 07/15/2008, -0/+5Dugg for Turbo button. Awesome.
- biznickman, on 07/15/2008, -1/+6Definitely looking forward to upgrading. When is BuddyPress going to be integrated? :)
- tastethevenom, on 07/15/2008, -1/+5FOUND IT! Hint: You'll find it playing around with one of the new features (or a diff. method...). ;) I deserve a free WordPress t-shirt.
- fredclown, on 07/15/2008, -0/+4Finally ... full SSL support and the ability to force it. I mean seriously this is 2008 ... security!
- heysuburbia, on 07/15/2008, -0/+4Good Stuff, I can really use the revisions option. I can't wait for the wordpress iPhone app to be done! Now we just need copy/paste on the iPhone
- mediaroots, on 07/15/2008, -0/+4There seems to be an issue with upgrading whereby it sets a loop that keeps saying 'please login again' and it keeps going round and round. This is an issue to do with having a cookie from a previous version. To solve this, clear your cookies and you'll be able to log in fine. This fixes the issue that ksaadksaad refers to.
- bradkovach, on 07/15/2008, -0/+3You probably do have great content, but do to the hierarchy of Digg, we'll never see it. Take the easy road: Reddit.com I get massive response when I submit my content there.
I don't use wp-cache. It's a lightweight caching plugin. wp-super-cache and 1blogcacher are MUCH better. They ease the traffic burdens much much better. - jargonaut, on 07/15/2008, -0/+3I think this means it's time for me to upgrade to 2.5 . . .
- bradkovach, on 07/15/2008, -0/+3There are plugins that do this. I'm sure they don't do it, because it may create a security hole for users--with file permissions being open on the servers.
- Stemp, on 07/15/2008, -1/+4Serendipity : http://www.s9y.org/
- redwallhp, on 07/15/2008, -0/+3It's *not*. BuddyPress is a different spin-off. It's not going in the main release. Most bloggers don't want the extra junk added. It's being developed similarly to WPMU, they take the latest WP release and merge their added features with it.
- MtheoryX, on 07/15/2008, -0/+3Care to detail that a bit? I'm genuinely curious what, specifically, bothers you.
- stealthc, on 07/15/2008, -0/+2But it works.
- kevinzak21, on 07/16/2008, -0/+2Dude, use SVN. One quick SSH command and everything is upgraded in seconds. I actually prefer this to an automatic updates or even an update manager inside Wordpress. I can upgrade five different blogs in a manner of seconds by just connecting to different hosts, pressing the "up" key, and then enter. :D Not to mention that you don't have to use risky file permissions or unwanted access.
- presidentnixon, on 07/15/2008, -0/+2Yeah, this is my one WP complaint. Love it otherwise.
- hbixler03, on 07/15/2008, -0/+2LOVE it! :)
- loungie, on 07/15/2008, -0/+2thanx .. u saved my life... :P
deleted the cookies nd was able to login... - MtheoryX, on 07/15/2008, -0/+2Amen!! WTF is taking so long here?
- LiquidRetro, on 07/15/2008, -0/+2You should be able to upgrade straight to the new version. I did that a few versions ago.
- mayanks098, on 07/15/2008, -0/+2Now i have a work to do,update my Wordpress 2.5.1 to 2.5.6.
"Wordpress automatic update plugin" FTW - tikistyle, on 07/15/2008, -0/+2Now all i need is Expression Engine 2.0....
- nemock, on 07/30/2008, -0/+1Oh and the link is just the extended story of what happened during my upgrade and a link to another guy's blog who provided complete table editing instructions in case you need to fix your database manually.
