What’s Next?
As always with WordPress, we don’t claim any of these features to be perfect, or to be better than everyone else in the world, but they are done by and for the people and the one thing we do promise is that with every release we listen and do our best to improve. WordPress 2.5 is a major milestone for WP not because it added dozens of user-requested features, but because it reaffirms that we’re as passionate about blogging as the day we started. Our community is too fierce to rest on its laurels — contrary to what pundits claim, blogging is far from “finished” and every improvement just whets our appetite for more. And more is coming.

Good news! But before you upgrade, make sure you have the latest back-up of your blog
I have setup a static posts page. The WordPress Page is “newpage” with a slug of ‘newpage’. In my header.php, I have the following php code:
if(is_page(‘newpage’)){
//Special Title for newpage
}
This doesn’t seem to work.
The is_home() stuff got messed around with a bit in wordpress 2.5 release.
