WordPress.org bloggers, upgrade to 2.0.3 now

From Mark on WordPress (emphasis added)

WordPress 2.0.3 was released with many annoying bugs, mostly having to do with the admin interface. Because of this, I’ve seen several people say that they’re going to wait for 2.0.4. I’ve seen others advocating that people not upgrade.

Listen to me. Upgrade. Now. Yesterday, even.

I absolutely understand that some of the issues are frustrating, and that for most people, upgrading WordPress is a hassle they don’t want to go through more than they have to. WordPress 2.0.3 is a security release. Which is more of an inconvenience to you: having to upgrade WordPress twice in a month, or having your entire blog irrevocably deleted?

He has a fix for the annoying (and minor) bugs, just copy it into the plugins folder.

Here's why you should upgrade. 2.0.3 handles authentication in a new, way more secure manner.

WordPress.org has detailed instuctions on how to upgrade. I highly recommend you get an ftp client, like FileZilla, that can delete folders on the server. This makes the process much faster. Pay attention when you're upgrading too, don't want to be deleting the wrong folders or uploading where you shouldn't!

I just upgraded two WordPress.org blogs, and the process, after doing the backups, really does only take 5 minutes.
