A new version of WordPress has been released today and I’m currently in the process of updating all of my WordPress blogs with the new version. That’s always a lot of work because I tend to prefer a manual update and not the automatic option that was implemented into WordPress a while ago.
Over 60 fixes have been introduced in the new WordPress version, several of them critical and some security related. You can check out the complete list of fixes in WordPress 2.6.1 by following the link to WordPress Trac.
I’m usually not that interested in what has been fixed than to apply the updates to all of my blogs immediately. It does not look like as if new features have been introduced in WordPress 2.6.1, more of a bug fix release it seems.
The next big release will be WordPress 2.7 which will introduce several new features and options to WordPress. Looking forward to that. It is however recommended to update the blog as soon as possible.

As far as I know there is no automatic update option implemented into WordPress. That’s what I would prefer. You could use a WordPress update plugin – but unfortunately it works for the englisch version of WordPress only.
