I’ve just upgraded this site to WordPress 2.7, which means that I never had to do the download-upload-upgrade cycle again. I upgraded two other sites earlier with no problems, and I don’t expect any here, but if you see any strange behavior, please let me know by posting a comment.
I’ve been using the auto-upgrade plugin for a while now and its fantastic. No longer do I wait til I have time to upgrade, I just upgrade every time the new update comes along. Good stuff.
If only bpm software updated this way!
Enterprise software in general needs to update this way.
Dennis Howlett had a blog post the other day about how enterprise software needs to be more like WordPress, although he was referring to the new capability in 2.7 for you to reconfigure the admin panel rather than have to deal with however the developer thought that it should look.
