Old Post Alert activated and appears to work just fine.
404 Notifier threw a fatal error when I tried to activate.
Twitter Tools 1.1b1 has activated just fine, but I haven’t tested it.

I’ve got sharethis running (hard coded in theme) and 404 notifier via rss (didn’t set up email), and both made the transition without problem.

Delink Comment Author doesn’t work, but doesn’t throw any fatal errors either. The comment admin screen has just changed too much, whatever it hooked into before is gone.

It seems like most of the broken plugins are due to the way categories are handled now.
I was able to update my Popularity Contest by changing tables and fields over to the new taxonomy ones.

I tested the Link Harvest on 2.5, it seems the only part needed to fix is path ../../ to ../ at the start of the pluginfile. The same kind of fix worked with popularity contest.

Popularity contest works on my personal blog but won’t work on my blogging with cents blog. They are both the same theme with the same plugins. Not sure what’s going on there:(

Alex,
The Popularity Contest fix which advises us to change line 59 is not a good solution!
After the change I was able to activate plugin and it seem to be working only to discover today that inside plugins folder I have a rapidly growing error_log filled with these errors:
[31-Mar-2008 13:47:52] PHP Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘../wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/username/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/popularity-contest.php on line 59
So I think the issue is still here and needs to be addressed.

Most of them work fine with me. Updating to 2.5 DOES however temporarily deactivate all your plug ins and makes you have to reactivate them one by one. Mine have been working fine ever since.

WP-Grins gives a JS error in the RTE when you click a smiley:
tinyMCE.selectedInstance.repaint is not a function

The plain editor, which is also used for comments, does work.

Not surprising - TinyMCE is changed in WP 2.5. I’m going to close comments on this post as we’re starting to get a lot of repetition.
