      How I missed this I don’t know. After all, I probably have read this announcement on my Dashboard about 10 times since the new version release…

      Of course, I think I’ll wait; with my luck none of my plugins will work with the update.

      We are just in the same boat. I also missed this and only upgraded 2 weeks later lol. Hmm plug-in compatibility usually has problems when it is a big release (eg. 2.6 -> 2.7) . For patches like this, it won’t affect your plug-ins :)
