I'll bite. Tried this afternoon with the latest version. Get:

Downloading update from
http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/all-in-one-seo-pack.zip

Unpacking the update

Removing the old version of the plugin

Could not remove the old plugin

Always fails on removing old plugin. This happened with the half-dozen
plugins I tried. Note that I am on Dreamhost, which occasionally does
unexpected things.

Hello,

on my dashboard I cannot see the author names in the gray boxes with the 
secondary rss feed. This happens since a few weeks, now with trunk r7188
too, 
on Linux, KDE 4.01, FireFox 2.0.0.12. Furthermore I tested it with Microsoft

IE 7 on Windows Vista and not only the gray boxes are too small, but also
the 
4 big main boxes appear at a single column, not in 2 columns. I think this
is 
awful. Maybe that happens to other users, too?

I submitted a ticket with some screenshots:
http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6061

Best regards,

Hi all Testers,
Wordpress 2.5 is due to be released sometime soon(When ever its ready i
believe - But thats another threads discussion).

But so far theres been very little bug reports flowing in for the plugin
updater, So, I ask of you, The Testers, To grab the latest SVN copy of
WordPress, install an old plugin (One thats available on WordPress.org) and
hit the "updgrade automatically" link on the plugins page.


An alternative to downloading a older version of the plugin, is to simply
change the version header of a existing plugin, For testing, i've mainly
been using akismet:
(after changing)
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Akismet
Version: 2.1.0
Author: Matt Mullenweg
Author URI: http://photomatt.net/
*/

Do the upgrade proceedure and it should click click over pretty smoothly to
update it
If anyone has a problem while attempting an upgrade, Please post back with
the messages shown on the upgrade page. (I'll then follow up with a plugin i
have which should help pin-point the problem)


Note: 
How the upgrade proceedure works:
+ WordPress notices theres a new plugin version available, displays links on
plugin page
+ User clicks upgrade link
+ WordPress asks for FTP details to connect to the local account to perform
the upgrade (Note: At present, FTP is FORCED to be used for beta testing)
+ WordPress connects via ftp
+ WordPress attempts to locate the WordPress folder
+ WordPress downloads the latest .zip
+ WordPRess extracts the files from the .zip to a temporary directory
+ WordPress deletes the old plugin files
+ WordPress copies the new files into their place
+ WordPress deletes its temporary files, And upgrade complete

It could fail at any one of those steps, And given the number of failure
points, I'm supprised theres only been 2 reports of it not working correctly
(Both since fixed up)

I also stress, WordPress trunk is still pre-beta stage, It is not designed
to work in production environments right now, While i use it on a live site
without any problems, I cant guarantee you wont have trouble, Try running it
on a test install first, then it everythings running allright, only then
decide to try it on your live setup :)

Cheers,
DD32

I've been using the latest nightly builds (not currently set up for SVN), 
currently running 03/09/08. On both my test site and my main which is using 
the latest 2.5, the upgrade fails with the following:

>Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/akismet.zip

>Unpacking the update

>Incompatible archive

This has been going on over the last several nightly builds no matter which 
plugin upgrade I tested. I actually haven't had a successful upgrade yet. 
Just as a note, the OneClick plugin works with no problem in WP 2.5 if that 
helps any.

I've got a similar error on my main webhost, I think its a incompatibility
between the PHP version, the OS, and the Zip decompressor in use.
In wp-admin/update.php replace the function show_message() with this one:

function show_message($message) {
	if( is_wp_error($message) ){
		if( $message->get_error_data() )
			$message = $message->get_error_message() . ': ' .
$message->get_error_data();
		else			$message =
$message->get_error_message();
	}
	echo "<p>$message</p>";
}

And see what the result is, It'll probably be something like:
"Incompatible archive: Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature"

I'll look into what the OneClick plugin is using, I thought it was using the
same zip handling class that is currently being used in WordPress, But i may
be wrong.

the OneClick plugin reverts to using exec('unzip ...') in any cases where
the PclZip library(same as WP is using) fails. I dont like the idea of
having that in the main WordPress code though.

We will begin testing WP e-Commerce properly tomorrow - we have already 
had it running on a few of the recent nightly builds but we have not 
spent a "huge" amount of time on it...

Incidentally... has anybody else tested this already without telling me 
about it :P

Normally WordPress MU catches up a few weeks after WordPress right?  
Will this still be the same case for 2.5 given the size and complexity 
of this update. Or do we think it will be a bit longer?

I'm not in a great rush to know... but this coupled with BuddyPress is 
going to really rock!!! Its very exciting times!!!

I tried the RTL stylesheets for the 2.5 admin, both with the default locale
(just by adding $text_direction = 'rtl'; to wp-confing.php) as well as with
the Hebrew locale which is also fully localized to Hebrew, and RTL language.

In both cases, the RTL styles are completely broken - not just a few local
bugs, they just don't work at all. I don't think it's a local problem with
my setup because I tried it on several different computers.

Is this just something that wasn't finished yet or is this the way it is
supposed to ship?
