January spelled not one, but three revisions for WordPress – 2.06 on the 5th, followed by 2.07 on the 15th. And of course, 2.1 on the 22nd.

Although you can read more about it on their site, the releases actually are two-part – 2.07 for most of us, and 2.1 for bleeding edge. The difference is simple: 2.07 represents a collection of security and bug fixes in the current code, whereas 2.1 is a move to significant new code.

As usual, the 2.07 is a ‘must have’ fix to avoid security problems in the past. I’d recommend using it as soon as possible for new blogs (although considering it comes a week after 2.06 I’m a little leery of recommending overhauling older sites).

And 2.1? I’ve heard of people complaining already, proof that new and different is often buggy – so you might want to wait awhile. Eventually, though it will be the way to go…

An important note about all new/future WP revisions – with the release of the ‘Top 10 Tricks To Conquer Your Niche With WordPress (2007)‘ Report, I’ve stopped revising the WordPress files for new releases, so there will be no more additions to the plugins update page.
