Upgraded to Wordpress 2.5

Wordpress 2.5 Admin Interface

I just upgrade this blog to the Wordpress 2.5 sneak peek. Everything seems to be working as before but if you do notice any issues, please leave a comment to let me know.

While testing it out locally, I did run across an issue where clicking the Update Database button in wp-admin resulted in a corrupted .htaccess file (which in turn resulted in a 500 Internal Server Error). It was easy enough to fix by adding a newline -- it had mashed two lines together -- and is reproducable on my Mac under MAMP. I had no such issues on my Linux-based deployment box.

The biggest changes in 2.5 are to the admin interface, which has received a complete overhaul.

My Inline Posts plugin appears to be working well and STCFX has a list of all Wordpress plugins known to work well with version 2.5.

    I had the .htaccess mangling issue in my production environment. Thanks so much for making a note of that on your blog! Got me back up and running.
