Thanks for the heads-up, i hadn't heard about this update, hopefully it will fix all the minor little things that bugged us with 2.5. Cheers!

I've tried to upgrade before but got failed. It only showed my Feed page when I go to my website. That was really weird. :sad:

how to do this upgrade ? :roll:

Wow.. i had some real troubles with this upgrade. It appears the WP devs have overloaded the post page with too many javascripts, it freezes my firefox. See here. Ive found a cure for that (if it happens to you), the web browser Opera works fine.

yes - it was pretty lame to see what was the security issue, an attacker could easily get access to many blogs and I doubt many bloggers would have stolen their databases :( but hopeful there are any secruity issues in this newer versions.. lets hope.. :neutral:

It took me 15 minutes to upgrade 7 blogs, then another 3 to upgrade one from 2.3.3 to 2.5.1. Wordpress rules!

Is anyone having Google SiteMap (3.3.0.1) rebuild issues with Wordpress 2.5.1? The debug isn't given me any problems but it says my file isn't writeable which is a lie seeing as I haven't touched it :p

Hey I know how you guys feel with the tedium of upgrade but remember they are usually months apart and essential to keep your site secure from Malware and Hackers.

Think of it as just another day in the life of a blogger! ;-)

They are really on a roll with updates. I bet another one is coming soon.

I just did the upgrade but that annoying "Please update now." strip is still showing up in the dashboard.

The same thing happened to my other blogs after upgrading. Another bug I guess, but isn't this release supposed to be a fix? :roll:

I still haven't even gone up to 2.5 yet - I'm lazy about that :lol:

hahahahahahahahaahahahahaha

Predicted on my blog 2 weeks ago. Predicted on this blog last night.
Anyway did this upgrade to the upgrade today and the only weird thing so far is the plugins wont reactivate as a group. Had to do them all one at at time, but I'm willing to believe THAT bug is on my own system.

I just installed my wordpress 2.5 two weeks ago and now they have another upgrade.

I upgraded as soon as I saw that there was a new version. Hackers are moving quick ;)

If you use wordpress as your power, then you should see where it says "upgrade now to 2.5.1" all over your dashboard. What a great service John Chow has afforded us. Thanks John.

Anyone know if this update addresses the custom field issues? Here is the support ticket I am talking about: http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6457

thanks for the update buddy ... just upgraded my site as well...

ThankYou for keeping us update

Thanks for the update john

Thanks for the update John
But it would be really nice if you write a comprehensive and easy guide on how to upgrade from an older version of Wordpress

thank you for keeping us notified

It's not too early? Should wait a bit? :neutral:

Thanks for the heads up :p Guess Ill have to upgrade a few of my blogs tonight...

Rats. I guess this is a good thing but I JUST downloaded 2.5 and built my blog using that version. I hope it's not too time consuming or difficult to upgrade.

Great..i still confusing in dashboard..look better and faster than previous one :evil:

thank you for keeping us notified! This is a great service you provide.

I just read a post exactly like that some place else. I think I'll right about that too...

Interested to see what hte improvements are for the dashboard and the write post features. Been having some issues with write post, and hopefully this fixes it. All in all, I have to say that I think I like Wordpress 2.3 better. Oh well.
