[...] Yes, it’s a good idea to upgrade as soon as WordPress 2.6 is officially released. Don’t let hackers enough time to find vulnerabilities in your WordPress 2.5.1 blog.

One issue I had is that the admin log in page after upgrading seems to have no style sheet attached. Also, my 2.5 version had much less files in the wp-content folder.

Before upgrading, I do check to see if all my critical plugins have been certified as compatible on the Wordpress site, or just visit each of the critical plugins’ websites to see if anyone else is having any problems.
