It is a good idea to update as it is a security release.

From the official WP blog: Core Security Technologies notified us that admin pages added by certain plugins could be viewed by unprivileged users, resulting in information being leaked. Not all plugins are vulnerable to this problem, but we advise upgrading to 2.8.1 to be safe.

Thanks Dan

Also, thanks ACrofford - yes this was the reason I was asking because of the fix on the plugin security.

Have you actually upgraded yet though?

The upgrade went OK for me. Used the automatic mode (which is always a bit scarey!). No problems.

Thanks Stefan, would have given you a "thanks" as well but I think I have reached my limit today..

Just to also report back for anyone else who might be concerned, I have just upgraded one of my sites and so far all is working great and I am particularly liking the new widget area functionality, brilliant!

I'm staying with 2.7.1 for a few more days. V2.8 was such a hash up that I want to ensure that everything works.

Good to see that they have regressed some items which caused problems in the 2.8 release.

Thanks

I upgraded two sites. It's really cool that now you can change templates with one click. I think that's a new feature, right? I have been able to try out many different templates without downloading them to my FTP program.

Thanks
