WordPress 2.6 was released a few days ago, and it has lots of useful enhancements like a change log and word count.
But one thing you should definitely do before making the upgrade is check whether your important plugins are compatible with the new release.
I have lots of WordPress blogs, and was quickly getting them up to date without checking, and in the case of one of them, it was a big hassle of a mistake.
The GeekCast.fm site, where a bunch of affiliate marketing folks do podcasts, is somewhat reliant on the PodPress plugin.
If I would have searched for WordPress 2.6 PodPress, I would have seen lots of people complaining that the two didn’t work together.
Oh well, they promise to have a fix in a week or so, and I got a workaround together for the time being.
Lesson learned.
