FYI: I used a third-party plugin updater, One Click Plugin Updater,  
for past WP versions, and it seemed to work just fine. Or it may be  
that the plugins I tried to update were programmed following the  
"rules" and therefore problems didn't occur.

However, I haven't tried your version in WP 2.5, simply because none  
of my plugins have required updating, apparently. I've got 21 working  
just perfectly -- and that's amazing. I expected things to be a whole  
lot worse. I think only one, which I used to add SSL encryption,  
failed on me.

What I'm wondering is whether the WP programmers are using the same  
method as One Click Plugin Updater. Maybe this was mentioned  
previously, but I get 300 letters a day, plus the usual number of  
spam, so this probably passed me by if it was discussed.

Peace,
