Safe to update to beta?

The main benefit to my mind is the theme support, it’s quite nice to be able to isolate your layout from the core files.

The current CVS snapshot has a problem (at least for me and some others), in that editing of posts has suddenly stopped working (there’s a separate thread about this). As that is more than a bit of an annoyance, I’d wait until that gets cleared up until updating.

I don’t know what’s causing that problem, but if you’ll replace the file called “post.php” in the wp-admin folder with the same file from the Dec.24 nightly snapshot, editing should work again.

that’s strange.. for me, the plus point would be pages, themes are cool too

but i like the idea of managing pages even though it’s just a couple of them, hahaa

I would recommend that you create a test site and ensure that it is functioning properly before converting a current site into the 1.5 beta versions.
