There are a couple of new downloads you should be made aware of:
Wordpress 2.5
You can read all about the ton of updates that were made here. You can also download the new version here.
I haven’t upgraded any of my blogs, but I played around with a local version…it seems nice. I should be upgrading to 2.5 when this sites new redesign launches.
Magento 1.0
After a long wait, Magento has released their first stable 1.0 version of their eCommerce software. You can download that here.
I’m playing around with this locally, and there is a fairly steep learning curve. I’m still going through all of the features and trying to learn how to make it do what I want. I’m hoping Magento releases an official startup guide that goes through each feature and provide tutorials to do certain things. I think it would be nice if they essentially made a guide that teaches you how to go from a blank store, to one with all the demo data. There’s so much I want to do with Magento, so I’m hoping to learn quick.

04/02/2008 6:06 amI put off upgrading my Wordpress blogs for months…one of them languished at version 1.5 until I finally took the plunge and brought it kicking and screaming up to date using the WPAU plugin. Now, I actually look forward to upgrades (they’re all at version 2.5 right now, waiting for the release of 2.6 later)
