wordpress 2.5 is here

The long awaited version 2.5 of wordpress is here

WordPress 2.5, the culmination of six months of work by the WordPress community, people just like you. The improvements in 2.5 are numerous, and almost entirely a result of your feedback: multi-file uploading, one-click plugin upgrades, built-in galleries, customizable dashboard, salted passwords and cookie encryption, media library, a WYSIWYG that doesn’t mess with your code, concurrent post editing protection, full-screen writing, and search that covers posts and pages

Have played about with an early release of 2.5 and so far so good, only a couple of old plugin didnt work.

Would make sure you backup your database and wordpress installation before upgrading.
