WordPress Quick Upgrade for Linux

[Igor]

Never ever upgrade WordPress to the latest version as soon as it comes out, unless you want to be the guinea pig dealing with the new bugs and incompatible plugins. Even if the new version of WordPress contains critical security updates, wait a couple of weeks to let others work out fixes for any new bugs and to let the plugin authors ensure compatibility.

You always need to have a test version of your WordPress site. Duplicate your database with a different name and duplicate your WordPress installation in a separate folder on the server. This will be your sandbox for testing new versions of WordPress and plugins. If the new version breaks something, it will not be your production site.
