Looking at the new features it is really is NOT that impressive an upgrade. As this is a 0.1 version different from from 2.1 to 2.2, there isn’t that much difference. It is really nothing comparing this to the difference 2.0 to 2.1.

There is a reason for this as the Development blog says

Most interesting about this release is that is our first under the new, experimental development cycle that we first talked about when we released version 2.1 fewer than 4 months ago. We delayed a few weeks from our target date in April, but ended up under our original
goal of a 4 month major release cycle.

The only features of notes are

  • WordPress Widgets
  • Full Atom support
  • New Blogger importer
  • Infinite comment stream
  • Speed optimizations
  • WYSIWYG support in a future version of Safari.

My advice is not to bother upgrading yet. I had some troubles with WordPress 2.1 that were only fixed on installing 2.1.3. It is not an easy proccess to install, so I will hold off a couple of weeks. If you do want to download, it can be found on the WordPress Download page.
