Wordpress 2.0 getting close

I see in the dashboard that the third and (last?) release candidate for Wordpress 2.0 is officially out. There is word that the final may come Wednesday or Thursday of this week. I haven't had much time to see what features may be new... but if possible I may try it out this week. I don't know of any security related problems with the current version that would require an urgent move.

For something like this upgrade it's always important to read the directions, backup your database (s) perhaps disable plugins as well. (Some plugins may not work with the new release.) All that said, if you have an area to test it seperately from a production site, it's probably not a bad idea.
