WordPress 2.0.5 Upgrade: changed files ZIP, changes diff, changed files list
WordPress 2.0.5 has been released, incorporating security fixes, and 50+ other bug fixes. This is a mandatory upgrade. If you want the full zip with the entire WP install, download it here.
If you are upgrading from WordPress 2.0.4, you obviously don’t need the entire install, you just need the files that have changed. Because my 2.0.2 to 2.0.3 and 2.0.3 to 2.0.4 upgrade files were so popular (and thanks to countless words of praise and even a few generous monetary donations), I’m going to continue to provide the same files for this and future 2.0.x upgrades.
Changed Files List
Changed Files List (2.0.4 » 2.0.5)
This is a list of all the files that have changed since the last (2.0.4) release. You can also see the changes and their corresponding tickets on Trac.
Changed Files ZIP
Changed Files ZIP (2.0.4 » 2.0.5)
This is what most people will want. This is a zip file that includes only the files that have changed since the last (2.0.4) release. This will save you a lot of FTP upload time.
Note: the /wp-content/ directory isn’t included in this file, to keep you from doing something stupid like replacing instead of merging and destroying your precious themes and plugins. One of the default plugins has been updated for 2.0.4, and the sidebar.php file for the classic theme has been updated. If you use either of these files, you should download their newest versions: WordPress Database Backup, Classic sidebar.
Changes Diff
Changes Diff (2.0.4 » 2.0.5)
This is a diff file (a patch) with all the changes made since the last (2.0.4) release. Make sure you do a trial run by using the patch command’s --dry-run switch, to verify that the patch will apply cleanly.
Disclaimer
I prepared these files myself and have tested them. Still, I cannot stress enough the importance of making a full file and database backup before attempting to upgrade WordPress using these or any other files. I cannot be responsible for your carelessness. Make a backup!
Now that I have commit access and am the official 2.0.x branch maintainer, I should mention that these files are unofficial. They were made on my own time, of my own volition, without any input from other WordPress developers and without any official sanction from Automattic inc.
You’re the man Mark. I don’t know why I’d do without you.
Hi,
thank you for your diff service.
Just ran a patch -p0 and now I’m happy
Cheers,
Moritz
Mark, we trust you.

Great service
Thanks!
[...] Por cierto: después de realizar la actualización a partir de la última versión de WordPress, me he enterado por Mark on WordPress que desde este blog se puede descargar una lista de los ficheros que han cambiado entre las versiones 2.0.4 y 2.0.5, asà como un fichero de actualización que contiene sólo esos ficheros transformados. No son archivos “oficiales”, pero tal vez merezca la pena probarlos, porque probablemente es más fácil actualizar el blog a partir de estos archivos diferenciales que mediante la actualización completa.

It worked fine! Thanks.
I simply download and extract ZIP. Then uploaded extracted content directly to my site -without disabling plugins-. When finished, blog loaded perfectly and when I entered …/blog/wp-admin I pressed the upgrade database link that lead me to the usual upgrade screen. After this last screen -clicking the proper link-, everithing is OK.
WP is easier than anything.
Thank you!
Thnx for the packages.. saves me a lot of time..

Thanks! This is what I was looking for!
[...] Nachdem ich ja schon vor knapp zwei Wochen auf das anstehende WordPress Update auf 2.0.5 aufmerksam gemacht habe, konnte ich mich heute wie Thomas und Sebastian trotz des fehlenden offiziellen WordPress.de Updates nicht mehr zurückhalten. Und so habe ich meine Installation per Hand aktualisiert, was übrigens ein Kinderspiel ist. Als Erstes müssen alle Plugins deaktiviert werden. Danach die ZIP-Datei mit den geänderten Dateien von Mark laden und die entsprechenden Dateien (und nur die) auf dem Server ersetzen. Aber vorher bitte ein Backup durchführen. Wenn alle neuen Dateien auf dem Server liegen, einfach im Adminbereich anmelden und per Klick die Datenbank aktualisieren. Und das war schon alles.

Mark,
Truly wonderful…you are doing a signal service to all wordpress fans.
Thanks a ton,
[...] Ooh, a WordPress update. WordPress released version 2.0.5 today and it’s a recommended update for all users of the semantic publishing platform. 2.0.5 incorporates several security fixes and 50+ other bug fixes. Based on security alone, I’d say this is a mandatory upgrade. For more information, head over to the official announcement page at WordPress.org. And as if upgrading an installation of WordPress wasn’t already ridiculously easy, Mark Jaquith, a contributing developer for WordPress, has kindly made a ZIP file of the modified files making it even easier to go Ronan. If this is the way you want to go, download the files from his site already. [...]

Nice work, copied to two blogs, updated databases, took about 2 minutes.
I’m a happy boy!
Hi Everyone,
I just found this site that looks alot easier to download the new update for WP BUT, I have never made any updates at all to date to my one blog and recently had a disaster where my hosting went down and it took me days to sort out my blog again as lost all my info which I then had to retrieve.
Because of this I’m a little worried about doing something wrong.
Can anyone give me step by step instructions concerning how to back up firstly so I dont loose any info then the easiest way to upgrade please with the zip file above that Mark has done.
I dont think my blog is on my hardrive, just my C panel I think ………..if you need to know this to advise me……..
Hope this made sense.
Kind Regards
Shari
thank you very much, this is really appreciated.
Another smoooove upgrade thanks to Mark.

[...] Just an fyi. If you’re running WordPress, there is an upgrade to version 2.0.5. I realize I’m a little behind the times. If you are on version 2.0.4, there is a nice little zip file out there that saves you time by just letting you upload the changed files. Very useful and a time saver. [...]
Hello! I am a bit behind, just realized about 2.0.5 today. For some reason, I can’t download your files, the server for the links to the zip or diff always time out. Anything I am doing wrong?
faustina,
My server’s hard drive got corrupted and was down for about 16 hours. It’s back up now!
Thank you!!
The diff file makes it much quicker to figure out which files I may or may not have edited that need upgrades.
Gee, maybe I should write down all the files I change to make upgrading less dicey next time….
Jason,
Even better is to implement your changes via the plugin hooks. And if you find something that you can’t do via plugin, feel free to e-mail me or open a ticket on Trac or ping the wp-hackers list for guidance. We’re big into adding hooks so that people can modify WordPress exclusively via plugins — it makes things so much easier come upgrade time!
Faultless, it’s what makes the WP community so special, contributors like Mark.
Many thanks.
Leon

Thanks for this useful post with the link to WordPress 2.0.5.
I’ve now installed the upgrade and I’ve thankfully seen the improvements from pervious versions.
I wasn’t sure about WordPress at first but after a few friends recommended it to me I decided to give it a try and I’m glad that I did.
Anyway, thanks for the information Mark.
I just love the classics!
Hello, i searched Google for internship programs and found your WordPress blog.
Sheesh, a lot of internship programs are like glorified secreterial positions, take it from someone who’s been there and did that. Paid internships are few and far between as i’m sure you may already know. Something that helped me was a program called College Works Painting. Basicly they select students and train them to run home painting crews. Of course they earn money, but they get some pretty good hands on experience at business leadership. Its pretty much seasonal, but i know several college students who were having financial problems that were helped by this program during warmer months. If you know a student, or are still a student, google the term College Works Painting and check out their website.
