I've just written an import script for the categories, authors and articles on our main site and into WordPress 2.05. Is there information available anywhere for database schema changes from one version to another?
I'm sorry if this is something that's already been answered, but I'm new to the forum and didn't find anything on search and on first few pages.

The only doc I'm aware of that discusses changes to the db:
http://wordpress.org/development/2006/12/naughty-or-nice/
The main change is the post_type record in the posts table, but the best way to check what's new is to compare db structure values from the upgrade-schema.php files (wp-admin/) in both versions.
I keep getting
Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: No ending delimiter ':' found in /wp-install-dir/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 648
when I activate a few of my plugins. I upgraded them all to the latest versions, but yet I'm still getting this error after upgrading to 2.1
so I'm not real sure what this means.. missing delimiter, is that an error in the formatting.php file? or something they took out in version 2.1? I have no idea, haven't figured it out yet
but am I the only one getting this error in 2.1? because so far I seem to be the only one reporting it, so something must have changed in 2.1, but so far the docs haven't told me anything pertaining to this, so I haven't figured it out yet
any ideas though? I could modify the formatting.php file I suppose, but I don't know what the correct syntax would be, when variable names are in play, so I don't know what to do about it really

bubazoo, what does your issue have to do with the database schema?
Sure sounds plugin related. By chance did you deactivate them all and reactivate one by one testing in between?

Let's keep bubazoo's issue on the correct thread:
ah ha!
figured out the problem!
Pierre's AJAX Shoutbox plugin, is conflicting with More-Smilies 3.3 plugin
darn plugins already LOL
now I just have to figure out if there is another plugin LIKE more-smilies that won't conflict with the shoutbox, hrm.

Thanks for the answer, Kafkaesqui!
In case anyone finds this later, and wonders about the changes between 2.05 and 2.1, the latter version has three more fields in wp_categories, namely link_count, posts_private and links_private. The wp_linkcategories table has been replaced with the wp_link2cat table. Then there's the post_type type changing from varchar(100) to varchar(20) in wp_posts.
Perhaps there were other, subtle changes but I only focused on what would mean something for my import.
