Hey y'all! I'm just back from Serbia, and just as much as I know you're sitting on the edge of your seats in wait of a post on that ((If you're really on the bleeding edge, I've just edited, rendered and uploaded this video to Vimeo, where you can see an entire 20 minutes of my Belgrade experience.)), here's something else; WordPress 2.6 has just been released, which entails a slew of nice upgrades, e.g. post revisions, new cookie and SSL handling, bookmarklet support, Google Gears in the admin interface (yes!) and more, all covered in text here.

As I run my own WordPress installation, I go through the manual process - that is, until I discovered Wordpress Automatic Update plugin, which automates the process considerably for you. It allows you to upgrade your current installation completely automatically or step-by-step, if you'd like. I've just posted this little comment on how to upgrade your 2.5.x-installation to 2.6, and there's really nothing to it, provided you've read the how-to and all that.

edit: the plugin is now updated to function fully on 2.6.

Here's an official WordPress video showing you what's new in 2.6:
