Wordpress 2.0 Released
This is probably one of the best late christmas present out there. Wordpress 2.0 is now officially available. 
Wordpress.org has been up and down erratically for several hours because the Wordpress team is current switching server. Don’t worry, within few hours the site will be stable again. I had a chance to download the official release just a minute before wordpress.org goes offline again. If you haven’t been there, the site has been redesigned. The new header of wordpress.org is similar to the one found in wordpress.com. The tiled background is gone and was replaced by a simple gray gradient from the top. I think that the new theme looks very simple without the tiled background. Perhaps I’m just used to the old design.
Anyway, I’ll be upgrading my blog very soon. I’ll do a couple of testing first in my local server. Don’t forget to read readme.html inside the zip / tar file because it includes the new install and upgrade guide.
Update: you may not notice it but under the hood I’m already running WP 2.0
