Attention bloggers if you have manually installed WordPress then you should immediately upgrade to 2.6.1. There are lots of bug fixes to 2.6.1.
For those who installed WordPress with Fantastico, Netenberg usually has the upgrade released a week or two later. We do post Fantastico updates on the blog so keep an eye open for that.
Please also note we will post when it is time for Managed Blog hosting customers to upgrade in this blog.

That’s a bit misleading because the 2.6.1 release isn’t actually a required update. If you’re experiencing any problems with 2.6, you should go ahead and upgrade, if you’re happy with 2.6, there’s no harm in staying there for now.

…or if you want to enoy the 60 bug fixes that were corrected then go ahead and upgrade.

Not all of them apply to everybody though. Here’s the full list:

I’m looking forward to when Managed Blogs are able to be upgraded.

I’d prefer to wait for Fantastico version to upgrade, but honestly, the wait kills me. Usually I see a lot of unusual activity on my site, with spam, user sign-ups, between the announcement of the upgrade and the time it takes for the Fantastico version to become available.
A while back, I found a plug-in for the WordPress Automatic Update which does the backups and update for me. So far, it hasn’t failed me and I recommend it to anyone else who has similar concerns.
