I spent sometimes this morning to upgrade my very outdated wordpress 2.5.1 to wordpress 2.7.1 after a year since my last upgrade. The upgrade was pretty much painless and it took me about 1 hour from backing up my wordpress files and database to fully up and running with wordpress 2.7.1. I did one small mistake which was to deactivate all my plugins before I upgraded but luckily, all plugins seemed to be working fine (keeping my finger crossed). I followed exactly the Wordpress’ guide for upgrading which can be found here.
The new design on the admin section is a lot nicer from before and I think it’s much easier to go from one page to the other. I haven’t played around with it much but I love the ‘Posts’ section since it utilizes the full screen of my monitor unlike before. I can easily see huge portion of my post ^^.
Anyways, let me know if you guys encountered some problems.

From a normal usability end, it’s just a lot better. The one-click update is also very, very welcome and should keep a lot of us from being lazy to get an updated version.

One nice thing about the 2.7 release is the ability to update from the dashboard. Makes it so much easier to keep everything up to date.

@Optic: Yep, gotta agree with you on this. The dashboard widget is great.
@super rats: didn’t know that wordpress 2.7 has that capability ^^. Thanks for the info.
@Blowfish: Good to hear that the upgrade plugin works fine. I personally never use just because I am overly cautious and always did manual update.
@balance: USD$7 per month for 2 years.
@TheGeek: Yah, I just recently found out about that and since everyone seems to be using it, I am going to give it a try for future updates.

@zenical: I tested wordpress 2.7.1 locally before I uploaded them since I did a manual update. I think as long as you test it locally or somewhere else before hand, it should be ok.
