WordPress v2.0.4 has been released with a number of security updates so it is well worth upgrading.
To simplfy the upgrade process I decided again to try generating a diff file between 2.0.3 and 2.0.4 and using that to patch my sites rather than uploading a full set of new files. The process for generating the diff file is actually simpler than the one I used last time!
Here is the process I took on my local machine to generate the diif file:
- Generated the patch file with
svn diff using the following command (all on one line):
svn diff http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.0.3 http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.0.4 > ~/2.0.3-to-2.0.4.patch

WordPress v2.0.2 has been released with a number of security updates so it is well worth upgrading.
To simplfy the upgrade process I decided to try generating a diff file between 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 and using that to patch my sites rather than uploading a full set of new files.
Here is the process I took on my local machine to generate the diif file:
- Exported both 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 from svn using the following commands:
To get 2.0.2 - svn --force export http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/branches/2.0
To get 2.0.1 - svn --force export http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.0.1
- Generated a patch file using diff:
diff -U3 -r 2.0.1 2.0 > 2.0.1.to.2.0.2.patch
I then uploaded the patch file to my server and placed it in my home directory and applied the patch as follows:

WordPress v2.0.1 is now available with over 100 bugs fixed since v2.0 was released about a month ago. This is looking like a very stable release and should be a great improvement over v1.5.2 with all the new features added in v2.0.
If you want to help out development of future WordPress versions then you can head over to the codex to sign up under areas which you feel you can help out.
