It’s official. I learned earlier today that WordPress 1.5 has been released and is ready for downloading. Had I known it was going to be released so soon, I’d have waited a bit longer to upgrade. Things being as they are, I took a deep breath and upgraded from the gamma release to the official release, then spent some time getting things back in order.
Everything appears to have worked smoothly. I can’t quite tell what all has changed. One thing I noticed in the dashboard is that the incoming links are now from Technorati instead of Feedster. While I was at it, I switched to a new plugin for recent comments, and added a plugin (from the same author) for most commented posts, the top 10 of which are listed on the sidebar. Some of them surprised even me.
Thanks for the heads-up on the new WP release. I’m in the process of upgrading right now. *crosses fingers*
