WordPress 2.60 is launched

July 17, 2008 · 0 comments

I realized that there is another newer version WordPress 2.60 is launched 2days ago. I saw the “WordPress 2.60 is available! Please updated now” in my wordpress cpanel. I not update yet because i’m not dare to update anything, worry that there is an error may cause all my file or articles gone in a minute. So i may do more research about it before i update to WordPress 2.60.

I read some posts in Lowyat.net, some of the blogger said that newer WordPress may not support old version plugin, maybe there is some error, maybe it cause your file or post lost, many of “maybe” there, so i’m not going to upgrade anything since i satisfy with my WordPress 2.51 right now. Don’t think i will make any changes if there is not much changes on the WordPress 2.60, or the changes doesn’t not help me.

Information below from WordPress Blog
