I just finished upgrading my blog to WordPress 2.0.6.
I believe that I was fully successful although I had a scary moment when all I got was a blank page for either the blog or the Admin panel. Turns out my FTP client did not upload one of the folders I had told it to. Fixed that and all seems good; or, at least, the blog and Admin panel load now and I am writing this. Hopefully nothing broke elsewhere. Please let me know if it did.
One thing I did not see until after I had upgraded was a small box at the bottom of my Admin panel about broken Feedburner feeds for WP 2.0.6. It seems WP does something to break your Feedburner feed. See this post for details.
This post talks about “resyncing” your feed after applying the fix. I did not see anything at Feedburner about resyncing. What I did, and I hope it’s correct, is click on “Edit Feed Details” (top left of page) and then just click “Save Feed Details.” It responded with “You have successfully updated the feed “Off the Mark”.” So, I am hoping this was correct.
If any of you notice issues with my feed or anything else, please let me know.

Hi Mark. Thanks for this post. I’m about to upgrade my WP blog which has a feedburner feed. Very useful.
BTW.. this was in my aggregator OK…and the article before it was “another view of naming things”. Seems to be working. Not yet got the “Infosciences” post. I’ll let you know if it doesn’t come through within a day.

Welcome Kathryn and thanks for the update. I just added you to my Bloglines and noticed that an earlier post and the Carnival post, which I just posted about 20 minutes ago, came through. Thus, I guess I did the correct thing with my Feedburner feed.
Good luck with your upgrade! Mine went super smooth, but then I have done the same thing two other times now in the last few months to 2.0.4 t0 2.0.5 and now to 2.0.6. I feel a little less worried about it each time.
