Wordpress 2.0.1

Matt has announced the release of Wordpress 2.0.1 ie. the first point release of the 2.* series of my favourite blogging tool. According to the announcement all the major issues have been resolved and 114 bugs have been fixed. Not bad in 30 days! Some of the highlights:

• You can now specify an upload directory, and whether to use date-based storage or not.
• Caching has been fixed under certain PHP enviroments.
• Permalinks have been fixed for weird enviroments as well.
• XML-RPC uploading works.
• Compatibility with older versions of PHP.
• Several WYSIWYG fixes and cleanups.
• Imports now use much less memory.
• Now works with MySQL 5.0 in strict mode.

I'd expect their download servers will be hammered for the next few days :) Well done to all involved!
