WordPress 2.5 was officially released on March 29th - this past Saturday. Although I said in an earlier post that I wasn’t brave enough to test the beta version, I did in fact end up working with it for a couple of days last week and absolutely love the new interface and functionality.
Here is the release announcement at Wordpress.org which includes notes on all the upgrades and improvements as well as a link to the download page. Enjoy!

I am still waiting a few days before I will test it. I really enjoy testing new versions, and I am really looking forward to the new 2.5 version of Wordpress.
The only problem for me, is that last time I installed it way too early, I ended up with an invisible blog for many hours and I had to reinstall many plugins.
This time, I will wait a few days extra and read a little bit more about the new version before I install it.

I like the interface too. I just upgraded last night, only took a few minutes and everything works great.

Thanks Ros, I’ll have to update soon!
One word of warning though for those who upgrade. DO NOT do it through Fantastico in your cpanel. The last time I did that I ended up with funny characters in all of my posts! It was easily fixed, but I had to do lots of research to find out what the problem was.
Here is the correct way to upgrade:

Thanks for visiting my blog.
I worked with the beta for a week trying out all the new features. I really like the fact that tags can be managed now. I guess I will install it sometime this week. Gotta back up my database first.
