It worked fine... I didn't actually upgrade until the first stable came out... I have been playing around with the release candidate for a bit for a while. Plug ins mostly worked and my variant of K2 worked fine, although I am thinking of starting code straight from scratch for my next theme. Very good performance gains and I like using the Fluency Admin interface... All in all pretty cool. New era. New ERA!

The only thing which broke was popularity contest which was easily fixed with a change of code. My site seemed to be working fine.

TBH I'm not sure what happened to WP 2.4 so yeah, waiting for a 2.5-friendly version of K2 might be worth your while. My blog's theme is a butchered variant on the default Kubrik one, so my changeover went quite smoothly.

On my new domain the comments have all transfered over, but they don't appear with posts but only in the admin area and the Recent Comments in the sidebar, lol! OK, this is messed up.

I just disable the k2 widgets in favor of Wordpress's own widgets. The new domain is working, but will require much work, but it is coming along and I will reveal it soon. But there is much to post in the interval, including my statement about Owen and the recent blog dorama. This is a post that is certain to shake the anime blogosphere to its foundations!

I use the Sandbox theme (not familiar with K2). If you're doing a lot of specialized stuff, I may say wait, but if you're just doing standard, regular WP things, I don't see why you can't go ahead and upgrade (just make sure to backup first!).

But I don't use widgets and plugins. If you only have a few, it's probably ok. As long as you back up your database beforehand, I don't see why not to try it out.

I believe most changes were to the admin UI and also tweaks for performance gains. K2 does a lot of interesting stuff that is not super flexible. While the theme is very slick, it is very prone to breakage with WP updates. It's probably worth it to wait at least a week or so for the inevitable 2.5.1 release.

With so many changes made, there's bound to be plenty of bugs and security issues. So it might be best to wait for 2.5.1 before updating :P I’m gonna wait for a while before updating my WP.
