Wordpress 2.0 and a fix for file uploads

Back in November I posted about how much I was enjoying a WordPress 2.0 beta, and today I'm happy to say it has fortunately gone official. WordPress 2.0 is now available for your blogging pleasure, but there's just one problem for those of you who use external blogging clients like Ecto: WordPress 2.0 breaks file uploads. A post at Ecto's blog explains the whole situation, including good news for an eventual update from the WordPress crew themselves, but for now they also were generous enough to create a simple work-around. Altering two lines of code in one of the WordPress system files can re-enable file uploads for now, and I can personally verify this works on my own blog as I couldn't help but take advantage of that Ecto sale over the holidays.
