Wordpress 3.0 has Launched

[Bec]

You've probably already seen the notice in your dashboards, so I'll keep this one short and sweet:

http://wordpress.org/development/2010/06/thelonious/

According to Matt Mullenweg: "3.0 is faster, stabler, and more secure, so you can focus on what matters (your audience) and let the rest fade to the background."

"Custom post types, MU merge, menu editor, Twenty Ten theme, over 1,200 bug fixes... there's so much to enjoy in this new release, we're really proud of it. It's the best WordPress yet, and available for a limited time for only free ninety nine. "

"Tell your friends, help them upgrade, write new themes that use the new features, spread the good word."

Love,
Matt Mullenweg

My wonderful webmaster at Great Atlantic Media (GorgeousBoys) upgraded me yesterday so far so good! Knocks on wood

I'm a little nervous ... a major version upgrade tends to need a few upgrades within a few days or so. Think I'll wait another week before upgrading.

I am normally conservative with upgrades but I trust my webmaster and he feels WP 3.0 is a mature end product, indeed they are talking(WP team) about taking a breather from further upgrades for the time being.

I dont anticipate the problems we had LAST year

hoping ;-)

oiyvey ... that was NOT fun. Too bad we can't setup the sites to just backup files and auto update all by themselves when a new release hits.

I am holding off until 3.0.1 or 3.0.2, I suspect that will be released within a week or two
