Thoughts on Wordpress 2.5

Now that I’ve gotten all of my blogs up and running on Wordpress 2.5, I wanted to share my thoughts on the whole thing. First up, I’m really enjoying the new interface. I’m even writing this post in the admin interface, instead of Windows Live Writer, although, that’s probably not going to become a regular occurrence - I just happen to prefer WLW.
The only complaints that I’ve got so far have to do with the time stamping issue - I created a post to drop at 07:30 and Wordpress took that to mean 7:30pm (if I meant that I’d have put 19:30) and I had to change the post time to 5:30am to make it even go live. Not very helpful.
The other had to do with the live updating. I had a few plug-ins that reported that they needed updating, so I chose the Automatic update feature, which requires your login and password. Yeah, a small security risk, but I wanted to see how it went. And for three out of four, it worked fine. On the fourth update (CommentLuv), though, it crashed, and when I went back to have a look at the blog, it had removed CommentLuv from the posts. Went back to the plug-in interface, and found that CommentLuv wasn’t even in my list of available plug-ins. Uh, WTF?  I don’t think that’ll happen each time something doesn’t work out, but I’m glad it wasn’t Akismet, or something like that that just got torched.
I’d be interested to hear from others on their thoughts and experiences with Wordpress 2.5 in the comments.
