@divinity degree: All bugs won’t be worked out and never have been, which is why they continue to update and upgrade. 2.6.1 has no issues that I’ve seen. I upgraded the week it was released, and really enjoy it. Try installing it somewhere else to try it out.

Well I would much rather wait and be sure that everything is working good before I make any changes to my current version.

@Ed: Yeah, 2.5 was definitely a milestone for me. It took me a bit getting over the new admin layout … change is good however and I love it now.

2.6.1 I believe is only a security fix. But I’ve read about 2.7 here and there. Glad they’re staying on top of things - though to be honest it may be wiser for them to push their major upgrades back to once a year. I know many people who are getting frustrated with having their websites be out of date every 6 months.

I would recommend 2.6 as well. But 2.5 was a fine release as well.

@Jamorama Reviews: I also just upgraded my site to 2.6.1 - and so far so good.

I too have had no issues with 2.6, I have many sites running WP 2.6.1 and they roughly get 200 visitors a day each and have had no issues with hacking or spamming.

@collegeblogger: Honestly, I’m running 2.6 right now and I’ve had very little problems with it - which is a surprise. It’s really nice. It’s actually weird going back to 2.3.3 which the office uses currently. Clunky and slow.
However, I’m not thrilled with the push on Google junk they’ve been doing lately.

I would rather wait for the bugs to get worked out before installing the new version. Good things are definitely worth waiting for.

@Ted - Good call man! That’s a pretty good analogy of the inner workings of the world!

In the city-leadership & building game “Sim City”, meeting all the needs & wants of the citizens leads to lower the criteria for complaints.

If there is no police station in the neighborhood, that is their complaint. After building a new station, they complain about, oh, litter in the streets. Put on litter-crews and they complain there are no shade trees, and when there are they complain about the shade.

You can tell how the project is going, simply by watching what are the complaints. The more trifling the nature of the complaints, the more solidly the project is meeting the goals.

When the lustiest complaint-outbursts about a software like WordPress relate to scheduled releases which software-experienced people know are notoriously difficult to schedule … well, we have to know that means the project is going very well indeed.

While I did come to EXPECT the release, I didn’t really count on it. I know how things end up happening, especially in the world of Open Source. So I just said “I’ll watch for it and try it on a fresh install when it comes out”. I wasn’t all upset when it didn’t make it.

Ah well. We’ll get there.

Sounds like you took a level headed approach to the situation. I admit, I goofed up with that first sentence in my post on WLTC, but going back and correcting it with a mental note is about all I could of done to fix the problem.

I, like many other people really did believe WordPress 2.5 was going to come out at this expected date because of 2.4 being skipped and the hype surrounding 2.5. Well, I guess good things come to those who wait.
