WordPress 2.0 Release Candidate via Photo Matt

WordPress, the popular blog software that powers this site and most of the others on the network that I’m building (with the exception of Rogue Tory, which uses a custom blogging system that I wrote from scratch), has reached the third release candidate in preparation for version 2.0. A lot of WordPress users seem to think that this may be the final RC before 2.0 is officially marked as “stable”, although I’ve not yet plucked up the courage to upgrade any of my main sites yet for fear of losing data or having to reverse the process or restore from a backup if things goes wrong. However, I am planning to give the latest version a whirl tonight when I install it on one of the domains that I’m not currently using, so expect a post later on about how 2.0 stands up to the 1.5.x release line.
