Update: If you, like me, want to be able to run IE7b2 side by side with IE6 (instead of replacing it), follow the instructions made by a commentator on Slashdot.

What would probably be considered a bugfix release, Wordpress 2.01 has been released.

Among the changes I’ve been looking forward to:

  • Permalinks have been fixed for weird enviroments as well.
    “Weird”? Quite a few people had problems.
  • Several WYSIWYG fixes and cleanups.

See the full bugfix list, and download the package.
