I almost forgot to blog it here, WordPress 2.1 is out and everyone should upgrade. We have shiny download buttons. It has been downloaded 52,216 times in about 24 hours. Now the real fun starts in development, for example I just checked in Atom API support to the 2.2 trunk, and other goodies around APIs and syndication. ¶

Shiny download buttons, it doesn’t get any better than that!
Ethan Neuenswander | January 23rd, 2007 @ 9:10 pm |
Spiffy buttons.

Matt,
Congratulations to you guys! I’m a product manager for an online software development company and know how difficult a release can be. Thankfully, we’re SaaS so no one downloads and installs our stuff. WordPress is an INCREDIBLE application full of potential.
I hope to develop a few plugins over the next year and help in WordPress’ popularity. I also have a draft of a book I’m writing on it that I’d love to share with you… after all the bugs are worked out.
Regards,
Doug

the button are good.
and hey 52k downloads in 24hrs is something like people downloading windows vista release or something. way to go.

WP 2.1 rocks! I’m even using a few legacy plugins that I wasn’t sure if they’d still work, but I haven’t found a single thing that worked under 2.0.7 that broke under 2.1.
Thanks to everyone for all your hard work. It shows, and it’s making my job as a blog owner even easier.

i’ve upgraded yesterday it was quick ‘n easy! it’s getting better day after day!
otherwise: woow mervelous design!!
Rick Beckman | January 24th, 2007 @ 2:07 am |
2.1 is fantastic, as has come to be expected! Thanks Matt and all others who have contributed!
Alexander Graf | January 24th, 2007 @ 3:15 am |
I’ve upgraded yesterday. I really love the upgrade step(s). I even made a backup (hey, I almost NEVER make backups), thinking 2.1 would surely break my install but it worked flawlessly. That was the easiest 5 minute install ever. And 2.1 only broke one plugin (tagging thingy), which is easily fixed I’m willing to bet. Very, very well done. Thank you.

Atom 1.0 support is very welcome, and couldn’t come soon enough!
GameDudeX | January 24th, 2007 @ 4:22 am |
2.1 is working great!
Kitta | January 24th, 2007 @ 4:25 am |
Love those shiny buttons.
David | January 24th, 2007 @ 5:11 am |
Ah, if only my host ran MySQL 4 or greater… There will be more left outs because of that than you can think about. Don’t forget about us, 2.0.X users and keep bug and security fixes coming, when appropriated!
Cheers.

A fine release, easy trouble-free upgrade – what’s to not like? And in all honesty, the shiny download button made the do-it-now decision *much* simpler.
Sofie | January 24th, 2007 @ 8:23 am |
I was already wondering about it since I often visit your blog. I was waiting for WordPress to release it before I went to bed on the 22nd. We’re 9 hours ahead of US, you know. I downloaded it after an hour when you released it. So far, of the 4 sites and 2 blogs that I maintain using WordPress, I already upgraded 3. I need to fix some codes first as I use it as CMS.
Thank you! Thanks to WordPress Team!
CarLBanks | January 24th, 2007 @ 9:12 am |
Great job Wordpress! 2.1 seems much more responsive and faster on the front and back ends.
Becky | January 24th, 2007 @ 9:29 am |
Just something to note.. in new wordpress 2.1 in the plugins section, ASKIMET is spelt wrong
Jacques Marneweck | January 24th, 2007 @ 1:01 pm |
W00t. Matt this release is sooner than I expected!
Geof F. Morris | January 24th, 2007 @ 1:59 pm |
Presumably you’ll support Atom 1.0 if you’re doing Atom API support?
Anthony | January 24th, 2007 @ 3:02 pm |
Another solid release. Nice one.
Titanas | January 24th, 2007 @ 5:14 pm |
Matt, update your Akismet download page. It still points to version 1.2.1

This is a great upgrade, the Wordpress team did an awesome job on it
The code view is a good improvement. my blogrol broke with the update, but that was fixed fairly painless.
And you can’t beat shiny buttons, it just doesn’t get get better than that.

Okay, I’m stumped. Where’s the spiffy “new tabbed editor” mentioned in the announcement post over at wordpress.org?
