No not the 1.1.1 firmware update that must have just been released after I left the house this morning, I’m talking about Mobile Admin for the iPhone.
Jared and I will be releasing a major update to the UI, some key updates:
- Better UI for those Wordpress 2.2 users (upgrade already, it’s been out for 3 days)
- Major overhaul on the dashboard. I hate that list of links too
- Overhaul in style on the posts page
- Text Overflow
- …some other minor tweeks.

It shouldn’t have been a big deal, just delete the folder or rename it then do another update. Well I ended up running some of the update.php scripts prior to noticing the problem and the upgrade when bad. I’m not sure how they became related but my guess is there were some files in the includes or the admin folder that weren’t included.
I ended up having to restore two dbs, including this one and rerunning the script (again) after a proper checkout. Argg, and I also had to stay up this late messing around when I should be sleeping.
I’m going to suggest that the wordpress devs include a force upgrade script, since that would have alleviated the restores. I wonder what and where get_option(’db_version’) checks or is it something else I could have reset to force the reinstall.
