I finally am back on that bleeding edge that is better known as WordPress nightlies.
I had been running these on my other blog, since it wasn’t as much to lose, but when I started using it, I took to the UI changes like a duck to water. I wanted to have the changes here on JLaH, so I decided that what I’d do is sweep the old directory completely clean, replace it with a new, not-subversion-tainted, not-legacy-CVS-touched directory.
I did all of that, and it looks like nearly everything works!
Now, I get to test it myself after I sleep.
About 20 minutes ago, I logged in so I can update my WordPress install by Subversion. I see this:
[dollar@cake ~/pxnet_html]$ svn up
U wp-includes/version.php
Fetching external item into 'wp-content/plugins/akismet'
Updated external to revision 19778.
Updated to revision 6166.
Checking WordPress after that, I see that it is indeed WordPress 2.3, and just in time. I finished ironing out a few kinks here (UPDATE YOUR PLUGINS NOW) and there (Look at the new Plugins interface, now with “Update your plugins now” deliciousity) before I took the leap, and now, it’s official, with a nice green sticker on the WordPress.org homepage, 2.3 is here.
