Installing WordPress 2.6

WordPress 2.6 has just been released, and I hastily upgraded the self-hosted blog from version 2.5.1 to version 2.6 after I backed up the database first.

The upgrade process took about 10 minutes to complete, including the uploading new WordPress 2.6 files to the server. It could’ve been faster, but for some reason the web-host incoming FTP is pretty slow.

Before upgrading, I turned of any caching plugins.

Overall, the upgrade process is painless. Don’t forget to clear your browser cache after upgrading to WordPress 2.6.

p.s. WordPress Apps for the iPhone is coming soon, but there’s no ETA given yet.

I want to know if Apple would add supports for newer AVCHD camcorders such as Panasonic HDC-SD9 which I own.
