WordPress MU 2.8.6 has just been released and may be downloaded immediately.
This is a security release with the same fixes as WordPress 2.8.6 plus quite a few MU specific bug fixes too.
Please upgrade as soon as you can.
I’ve tried the automated method, and it’s failed three time. I may wait a bit and try later….
It’s great they fixed the bugs of the previous version.
@Branedy, actually, it’s not a good opening not working when released 
, may be you’d better wait a little bit, try later.
Thanks for your work Donncha, when the pot for this version is available on the svn?
I don’t know. I don’t have anything to do with generating the pot files but I don’t think there have been many text changes.
Just upgraded from 2.8.5.2 … Auto upgrade failed as well… Ftp upgrade worked fine tho… Sites already seems to run smoother… Thanks for the Update Donncha
Auto upgrade from 2.8.5.2 failed in main admin page, but its avalibaile on path http://your_domain/wp-admin/update-core.php
In my case it was the decision.

Automatic upgrade seems to be working fine here.
Automatic upgrades worked fine for me on several sites, all on the same server, up until 2.8.6 then not. Something has changed though I don’t know what. I’m guessing a server setting.
If anyone comes across a possible answer, I’d be happy to hear it.
Auto-upgrade worked fine.
One question though; is “site admin” > “upgrade” obsolete? I see that both of my two blogs (one BuddyPress, one not) on this MUWP install went to 2.8.6 without using “You can upgrade all the blogs on your site…”
Oh, and thanks! (much)
That upgrade message was necessary in the last upgrade because it removed slashes from blog options and site options tables. It’s done now so no need for it the message!
It’s not obsolete though as sometimes blogs do need to be upgraded.
