Plugin Upgrade Preflight Check will check your other plugins and themes for problems that may induce errors when upgrading to WordPress 2.3. Run this before upgrading and it may redeem some headaches. It is compatible in version 2.3 and may be useful to help identify the cause of errors.

Important Note
Having or not having problems listed in the Upgrade Preflight Check report is not a guarantee of compatibility or failure. It is designed as a starting point to help you follow-up on potential problems. Please check individual plugin Web pages to fully verify compatibility. (And always make a backup before upgrading.)

How It Works
The plugin run by scanning for the appearance of text within plugins and themes that may indicate compatibility problems.

It currently looks for the following:

* Use of the old category tables that are now gone.
* Use of wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php, which has been moved and renamed.
* Use of the get_the_title function, which works a little differently.
* Use of deprecated permalink functions, which still work for now but should be replaced.

Each of these conditions comes from discussions on the wp-testers mailing list and various blog posts during the time leading up to the WordPress 2.3 release. More details are shown at the bottom of the report.

Installation and Use

* Upload upgrade-preflight.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
* Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
* Use the Upgrade Preflight menu under Options in the WordPress admin panel to generate a report.
* There is no need to leave the plugin activated when not using it. Disable it when done.
