WordPress 2.6.3 Available for Download

what are the developments in this version?

I don’t mind the updates like this, I just hate thinking about how long it went “unsecured” before the update.

Three cheers for Wordpress - whoopwhoop!

Congratulations to wordpress users!! We blogspot users don't have things like that.

As started by the WordPress crew, the expected launch of 2.7 is mean't to be on the 10th November. I'm looking forward to it, although I can already see what the support forums are going to look like.

With the new comments system that's being implemented, which does look very good, and replaces quite a few plugins, maybe even the one John uses here, the comments.php will need to be coded slightly different. (There will be many people asking how on earth to do this I bet!)

I hate the fact that people go around talking negative about the blogging software, when they HAVEN'T even given it a shot themselves. Now yes, there are some things that could possibly be upgraded, but I'm sure in time they'll come.

The day v2.7 comes out, and I hope it is Nov 10th, then I'll be upgrading my blog as soon as I can. I've seen the screenshots, and also checked out a live demo, and it's just hot! - There are just so many options, and you could now start designing some themes around the new features.

Anyway, enough rambling from me on the subject, and let's just wait for the 'big' day to happen!

Thanks
Mark

Honestly I am quite happy to download the whole thing as it's a good excuse to backup my files. Anyway, it's a breeze with the auto upgrade plugin.

Just updated my WP....good thing ... i don't want to see that "update you version" anymore. I don't even know what extra stuff I get.

I replaced the files as soon as I saw this.

It was really suprising and caught me off guard. When I saw the notification in my admin panel that a new version was out, I immediately thought 2.7, but was totally disappointed to find out that it wasn't.

Huh is it a must to update?

Hi John,

Glad I ran across this. This makes it a whole lot easier to upgrade.

Cheers,
Jeremy

How easy is it to Update your Wordpress? Do you loose anything or is it a simple Process?

I'm a recent Wordpress convert. I was on Blogger for months and had no idea what I was missing. I love Wordpress now... the flexibility is amazing!

Thank you for John, for highlighting the specific files to be updated. It made the process much easier. I'd like to see Wordpress build an auto-updater function!

do you know, when the 2.7 one will be released.

John, my blog templates was error after upgrading it. What happend?

I upgraded the second I saw the notice in my Dashboard.

didn't 2.7 come out?

Thanks for the heads up, will download asap.

Things like this makes you wonder how many more bloggers are going to be hacked in the future...

Love Wordpress!

I find it amazing that people complain that there are 'too frequent updates'. Would these people seriously rather wait until there blog gets hacked, and then the WP team release an update?

2.7 looks cooler. I think I'll wait for 2.701 to wait for the bug fixes on a major upgrade.

update the 2 files can save a lot of time than full update~

Thanks for the heads up john! I think i will just update the 2 files instead of doing the full update.

I don't like that Popup either you already have the form. why do you need another form?
Thanks for the update about wordpress. Greg Ellison

Bah I was offended by the popup that hit me when followed the link on Twitter John! lol

When is 2.7 coming for WP?

I don't mind the updates like this, I just hate thinking about how long it went "unsecure" before the update.

Add my voice cheering for the WordPress community. I tried a number of other blog/CMS softwares and the other communities do not even come close.

Sadly can't upgrade due to some plugins and my theme that I have customized a bit.

I love Wordpress, and the fact that any time there is an update, or one coming, between you and Shoemoney I know before I even write for the day.... thanks for the heads up!

Thanks John for the tips.... yea, it will be a lot easier to replace the file than waiting for the updates from Fantastico development team.... :)

This is great! I was once a Joomla fanatic but they NEVER worked on security issues like that of the WP crew. Thanks!

I think it's fantastic that even with wordpress being open source free software the developers are so security conscious and release updates so frequently. Three cheers for wordpress!
