Upgrading too soon?
The much awaited Wordpress 2.5 will be released in a couple of days, but will you upgrade your Wordpress blogs immediately after its release?
Since it skipped 2.4 we can expect a major overhaul for our blogging software. New features will be added, old features will be enhanced, and bugs sorted out. Of course, most of us (Wordpress users) like to try out these exciting new changes as soon as possible.
But not for me.
The same reason why I’m still using WinXP instead of upgrading to WinVista. Most programs I regularly use are still not usable in Vista. And Vista contains lots of bugs than XP.
The moment you immediately upgrade to Wordpress 2.5 to more chances your plugins are going to break.
I usually wait after a couple of days (weeks) before upgrading anything. I look out for news, blog posts, comments, etc. about the software I’m going to upgrade to. If I see a lot of negative feedbacks, like this not working or that breaking, then I think twice before upgrading.
I don’t want my blog to be running in WP 2.5 with half the plugins not working or the theme I use breaking.
So I’ll wait, till the dust settles…
