WordPress 2.6 was released a few days ago, and it has lots of useful enhancements like a change log and word count.
But one thing you should definitely do before making the upgrade is check whether your important plugins are compatible with the new release.
I have lots of WordPress blogs, and was quickly getting them up to date without checking, and in the case of one of them, it was a big hassle of a mistake.
The GeekCast.fm site, where a bunch of affiliate marketing folks do podcasts, is somewhat reliant on the PodPress plugin.
If I would have searched for WordPress 2.6 PodPress, I would have seen lots of people complaining that the two didn’t work together.
Oh well, they promise to have a fix in a week or so, and I got a workaround together for the time being.
Lesson learned.

I upgraded the next day after it was released. Only had one plugin that didn't work, but it was that big of a deal. I should wait from now on and not jump when it's released. Live and learn

It's ways a good idea to wait a month or so after release before you upgrade wordpress. The new features are cool, but since upgrading I cannot access the advanced options on the post page. No clue why, it worked fine before.
