Is there a way to see what bugs were fixed in this version?
Is there a way to see what bugs were fixed in this version?
Just for clarification purposes, I had noticed in the wp-testers list that the database hasn't changed correct? And there is no need to run the upgrade.php correct? Here below is the email I'm referring to..

The database hasn't changed so there is no need to run the upgrade.
The only place we call $wp_roles->add_cap() is in WP_Role:add_cap() and
that function global $wp_roles properly. Plugins shouldn't be calling
$wp_roles->add_cap(). They shouldn't really be using $wp_roles directly
at all.

Or is it ok to run the upgrade.php file anyways like normal while upgrading, and not have to worry about getting errors? Thanks in advanced.. =)

I could have just done an upgrade on a Test Blog and found out myself..but just wanted to bring this question out to the "public".. =/
Because if you "technically" don't need to run the upgrade.php file, it might help other(s) by getting this pointed out to them..or whatever maybe..I dunno. =/
I just downloaded the new version and ran upgrade.php and everything works fine.
Awesome, thanks brittanie for your quick reply and for clarifying this.. =) So we/I can do all the normal steps for the upgrade like before and have no worries..this is great. =)
Now time to upgrade ALL the dang blogs lol! Jesus, talk about along night/morning for me..sigh, but it is well worth it though. =)

My upgrade went really quick. No worries!

Yip - mine too - ran upgrade to no problems !
I wonder why Atom 1.0 wasn't included this time either?

...good thing it turned out to be my own fault. no problems, then!
Upgraded to 2.0.2 , THANKS :)

Sorry to ask a newbie question...: but how do you apply the .diff file? That would be such a perfect thing to do :-). Thanks!
Thanks masquerade - makes life so much easier! Grateful
i put it on my local machine this AM; all good.
Is there a list of the actual security problem with earlier versions? I dont want to upgrade unless its actually needed!

Upgrade went smoothly but now the page won't stop loading in Safari (same as this page), I get the following in Safari's activity window:
http://www.google-analytics.com/_...Fblog%2F%7Cutmcmd%3Dreferral%3%2B
and I'm wondering what this is.
Thank you.
You've got a google analytics plugin problem.
anyone have an idea why i would get this error:
Warning: main(/var/www/html/blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/blog/wp-settings.php on line 73
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/var/www/html/blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/blog/wp-settings.php on line 73
Make sure all the files are uploaded into the blog/wp-includes/ directory, especially this file: wp-db.php
And make sure they are all uploaded into the other directories and the root like "supposed" to be.. =)
That error you recieved is basically telling you what is not there and or where the file is supposed to be at. =)
Warning: main(/var/www/html/blog/wp-includes/wp-db.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/blog/wp-settings.php on line 73
I hope this is right...it should be the reason for the error lol.. =)

Due to another problem, I installed 2.0.1 and, then, decided to upgrade to 2.0.2. (In the end, it turned out that I did not need to install 2.0.1 but that's another story.)
I read the upgrade instructions:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress
and noted that it said not to use upgrade.php. Ok, so I went further down the codex and found the following:
1. Delete /wp-admin/ folder.
2. Delete /wp-includes/ folder. Note: You must backup /wp-includes/languages/ directory if exists.
3. Delete all the wordpress files in the root directory where the root index.php file is found. DO NOT DELETE wp-config.php.
4. Download and extract the new version.
5. Upload it to the appropriate folders such as /wp-admin/ and /wp-includes/.
6. Upload all the files in the root directory.
7. If existed, restore /wp-includes/languages/ directory
Is it just me or are #5 and #6 a bit vague? In the end, I simply kept my wp-config.php file and replaced everything else in the directory with the new 2.0.2 files. It seems to have worked out fine.
Ran the upgrade from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 this morning, went smooth as silk!
Keep up the great work!
I encountered the same problem as shakemusic. Since the initial installation of WP was more luck than knowledge (I have the wordpress files in both the root and my /weblog folder and deleting any single file completely screws everything up), that scared the **** out of me! :-0 So I put back the old files and I'll try again later.

There is no formal list, but let me say that the upgrade is absolutely necessary, the vulnerabilities are not crackhead zero-chance holes, they could easily be used to bring your blog to its knees.
I followed the intructions to the letter, yet at the bottom of my dashboard page I still see "2.0.1 — 0.10 seconds" and when I click view source I still see <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.focusedandfree.com/wordpress/wp-admin/wp-admin.css?version=2.0.1"
Does that mean the upgrade didn't take or ???
I did the upgrade from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2 and I see a 2.0.2 - 4.95 seconds.
I have to say, for someone who isn't very technical at all when it comes to this stuff, the upgrade was very easy! See? I knew there was a reason why I dumped movabletype and got wordpress!
