WordPress 2.6 svn-upgrade; ouch!
WordPress 2.6 has been pushed out the door at Automattic and it contains some exiting new goodies as usual. So I fired up my trusty upgrade script, but got an ugly php-error when accessing the database update-pages:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in wp-includes/widgets.php on line 464
Turns out that the wp_widget_search-function in wp-includes/widgets.php included some remnants of an SVN-merge. Don’t know if it was a sync problem at my side or if the faulty code was on the SVN-server (it isn’t now), but I ended up copy/pasting the correct function from a fresh tar-ball I downloaded.

almost forgot; the search-widget in wp-includes/widgets.php from the tarball seems to have a label with css-class hidden
but .hidden did not exist in my theme’s css. if you encounter this problem, just add
.hidden {
visibility:hidden;
display:none;
}
to your theme’s css-file and all should be well.
