I spent a few minutes (not hours) updating all my sites to WordPress 2.0.5. So far, everything is working and no issues have come up. If you not upgraded your WordPress installation, check out the fixes in 2.0.5 and then upgrade away. Great work WordPress developers!
I had been struggling with the the next/previous links on my WordPress blog now for several months. Nothing excites me about mod_rewrite and permalinks in general.
