WordPress 2.5 RC2 – Warning
50 Minutes ago developers have released a WordPress RC2 but be aware – it has a problem!
Obviously I have downloaded and installed it to see if some of the previously noticed problems have been addressed only to learn that after upgrade my blog is dead! Luckily I was presented with an error which pointed directly to wp-includes/taxonomy.php file line 165.
In order to get my blog working I had to get that file from RC1 even though this file have been upgraded for RC2. I guess we can only hope that developers will address the issue and update the package. And make sure to watch the screencast by Matt on new Gallery feature that comes with 2.5!

[...] pas, nous fait tout de même saliver et donne très envie de se ruer vers la 2.5. Mais attention, certains ont connu quelques soucis et ont dû se rabattre sur la [...]
Yeah. I tried to install 2.5 in my blog and I got some error. Maybe my plugins are not yet compatible with the version. But 2.5 has a cool design.

Yep, there are many issues yet that needs to be addressed. I wouldn’t recommend installing this version at least until 2.5.1
unless you have a development blog that mimics your production where you can test everything or one of my w2.0w customers who will get the package once I test everything 
AND another discovery …. since I had to replace taxonomy.php file another error is present because category-template.php relies on the new file …
So at this point, until they fix the problem I recommend to stay away from WordPress RC2
I was just thinking of installing this update until I read your post. I will wait for a further update, thanks for the advice…
Are you sure it’s not plugin incompatibility? I’m not hearing anyone else complaining about problems…
Hannah,
Looks like it might be. But the statement was made after upgrading WP2.5 RC1 to RC2. Perhaps I made a mistake assuming that plugins working with first version would work with second as well …
This is caused by plugins that register a taxonomy before init is complete. The Simple Tags plugin is such a plugin. Since RC2, we changed the code to allow this. You can grab an updated wp-includes/taxonomy.php here.
Yep, new version of the file works like a charm
Thanks Ryan,
Greatly appreciated and I’ll be testing it more today. And thanks for the link.
