I both agree and disagree with that. Usually functionality losses come from plugin incompatibilities with new WordPress versions. That’s not the WordPress Team fault’s but the plugin developers’ fault and frankly, you can’t expect plugin developer to update their plugin the same day a new version of WordPress comes out.

For real commercial and productivity development, I find it better to have different version and subversion of WordPress running and testing all installation and plugins individually and as a whole. That ensures nothing bad happens

Thanks for the headsup!

I’m doing a graduation reserch project about WordPress. Testing the nightlybuilds can give me some cool topics about the upgrades and future features in 3.0.

I’d prefer to see all of the 2.9 bugs (mass editing posts,image thumbnail cropping etc…) ironed out before we get a new 3.0 release.

I’ve found that wordpress first releases are never quite stable and tend to wait until .2 or .3 before upgrading unless there is a security patch. I view new releases of wordpress as Beta versions, I have lost count of how many times an upgrade has needed reversing because of a functionality loss.

It is very nice to have new versions and new features but it would be even nicer to have a bug free wordpress that takes a little more time.

Although I appreciate the simplicity of the 2010 theme, there are so many more better/cooler/more functional/nicer themes out there which could…and maybe should have been the new default theme.

Good to hear 3.0 is getting done almost, though…

I’m certainly looking forward too it. Well, except for having to take new screenshots … and re-doing some screencasts.

Of course Using WordPress … including WordPress 3 does have a nice ring to it…
