Blog has been upgraded to WordPress v2.7

I have updated my blog to WordPress v2.7 which was just released. Once again I did have to edit the /wp-includes/vars.php file to force $is_apache to true (see below) since the SERVER_SOFTWARE variable comes back as WebServerX instead of Apache. Other than that the upgrade went smoothly.  🙂

// Server detection

/**
 * Whether the server software is Apache or something else
 * @global bool $is_apache
 */

//$is_apache = ((strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'Apache') !== false) || (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'LiteSpeed') !== false)) ? true : false;
$is_apache = true;
/**
 * Whether the server software is IIS or something else
 * @global bool $is_IIS
 */

$is_IIS = (strpos($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'Microsoft-IIS') !== false) ? true : false;

As always, I did perform a complete database and file backup before upgrading.  I also deactivated all my plug-ins before hand as well. I did have to reapply some code modifications that I made related to the RSS Feed widget; however, I’ll make a separate post about all that! 🙂
