@dani: I’ve personally upgraded a few blogs to WP 2.8 with no problems at all, although it’s not surprising some people are facing troubles. Seems to happen with every upgrade.

Yes, I agree! I had done a backup two days ago, in anticipation of the new release. So clicking the button was all I needed to do when the link showed up.

I especially want to hear more about taxonomies and tags. This feature can be great for SEO.

@Leora: Yep, the auto upgrade sure is a convenient feature. Although it's always smart to make a backup beforehand. A database backup at the very least. I may do a special "WordPress 2.8-only" edition of WordPress weekend resources tomorrow, so look out for that!

Just upgraded one minute ago. I loved that I could press a link, and off it went! I had just done a backup yesterday in expectation that 2.8 would be soon.

Doesn’t look any different. I read a little about the new taxonomies this morning – I’ll be looking for more “What’s new in WP 2.8″ posts.
