The new WordPress release is available since two days but it’s still too buggy to call it “final”.
Christa reports
…the dashboard is messed up, image uploader won’t work, the tags menu won’t work…or any of the other menus for that matter…
I checked this and this forums and they’re plenty of bug reports. It’s a good idea to not upgrade as long as most of these bugs aren’t fixed. If you already did here’s a description how to downgrade.
Update:
Code Styling wrote an article about known problems. He published some descriptions how to solve some of them.
If you are testing widgets on your WordPress powered blog it sometimes happens that the widget causes errors that make it impossible to remove the widget from the sidebar again. If these errors have bricked your system the only way to get it working again is to deactivate the whole plugin. But if you would like to use some parts of the plugin that are independent of the widget you can’t just reactivate the plugin because the widget will be present in the sidebar again. For this reason I wrote a plugin that removes all widgets of deactivated plugins from the sidebars.

This is my new plugin that displays a new English word in the sidebar every day. Furthermore a quiz is included. If you select the correct choice you can play a sound file to listen to that word.
To see One Word A Day in action take a look in my sidebar.
To reduce unneeded traffic I built a cache for it.

Notes
- Only on workdays a new word appears. So don’t be inpatient if the word’s not changing on the weekend and holidays.
- The widget is accessing the data from owad.de
Collroll is my new plugin that lets you insert your blogroll into a static page or into a post. The categories are collapsed by default. Here is how it looks like.
As Collroll uses the built-in blogroll no extra database table is used to store your bookmarks. Once the plugin is activated the background color for the category titles can be set. Have a look at the screenshot.

Ideas related to this plugin:
- Link descriptions (planned for the next version)
- A browser plugin for direct bookmarking a web page on your blog. If you’re a desktop application developer contact me please.
- Sharing bookmarks with other bloggers. For instance you will be able to show bookmarks of your friends on your site or just set a link to them.
- Option to open the link in a new page by default regardless of which setting is set while adding a new link.
