Beau Smith http://beausmith.com Here's a summary of known 4.21 upgrade issues that are currently being reviewed.

  1. dirify function changed (existing dashes no longer removed in 4.2)

Resolved by release of the EntrySetBasename Plugin

  1. index templates set to not rebuild with indexes in pre-4.2 are mapped to "static" instead of "manually" upon upgrade

  2. upgrading blog using the Universal template set causes index template ids to be lost

  3. ID conflict in Community Forum template set config

If I have missed any, please Submit a Bug and then place a link here in the comments.

I really wish that it was elsewhere, because even though I rarely delete it, and almost always have it, I generally forget to update it until I've been reminded that it's not working as it did!

If it's fixed, should I re-download 4.21 to get the fix? How can I tell if my version of 4.21 has the fix?

For now if you are aware of issue #2 above, you can easily edit each index template that was previously set to "not rebuild with indexes".
