Besides this, other updates to 2.0.6 include:
- HTML quicktags now work in Safari browsers.

- Compatibility with PHP/FastCGI setups.
- New anti-XSS function called attribute_escape(), and a new filter called “query†which allows you filter any SQL at runtime.

interesting. I think I may wait until 2.1 😉 Nothing to critical for me there.
The security fix is critical as it can let a hacker get into your site.
Unless changes are major it is really difficult to upgrade versions if you have a lot of plugins and widgets. It takes a lot of time to deactivate themand reactivate them.
I believe wordpress developers should also focus in enabling a easier way to upgrade versions. It is a pity given that it is one of the best blog packages available.
Also the page where it is displayed the plug-ins and widgets is really
chaotic. I am also a Joomla user and to tell the truth Joomla makes your life easy to upgrade versions and to keep track of plug-ins (new and recently updated)
Just some positive and constructive criticism.

I guess an auto-upgrade feature is highly requested and I would like to see it too.
I did the upgrade without deactivating my plugins.
However, I advise making a backup of your blog first in case something does go wrong.
