I gave a short break for my Tips For Improving Your WordPress Skills series right after WordPress 2.5 is launched. It was because 2.5 version was not stable and came with a lot of bugs. I am very happy that as of today WordPress 2.5.1 is launched. According to the news sources this version comes with a lot of bug and security fixes. However, to be on the safe side I will follow the reliable blogger’s comments on WordPress 2.5.1 before I upgrade.

If you download the entire 2.5.1 release, you will be getting over 70 other fixes. 2.5.1 focuses on fixing the most annoying bugs and improving performance. Here are some highlights:

  • Performance improvements for the Dashboard, Write Post, and Edit Comments pages.
  • Better performance for those who have many categories
  • Media Uploader fixes
  • An upgrade to TinyMCE 3.0.7
  • Widget Administration fixes
  • Various usability improvements
  • Layout fixes for IE

I checked what has already been said for 2.5.1 version in the Web. Here they are:

Please share your first impression with me and my community if you have already installed version 2.5.1.

By the way, which version of WordPress are you using at the moment? If you are still using the old version, what keeps you away from upgrading?
