Just now - I upgraded by blogging software to WordPress 2.0.2 - it looks that the upgrade was more or less successful but it’s not showing the number of comments per post (it’s showing 0 in each case on the homepage) but you can click on the comments link to see the actual comments. So, it looks that the comments are present - it’s just that the count of comments is not coming.
Oh well, I am too sleepy right now - will fix that tomorrow!
Update: Looks like there was a bug in the WordPress Upgrade script. They introduced 2 extra columns in the database tables (posts and categories) which is responsible for storing the total count of the comments and posts-per-category. The upgrade script didn’t do the auto-calculation (so it was showing 0 comments on every old post and not showing all categories in the left sidebar) and I had to write a small script to populate the 2 counts in the database. The good news is that it is all fixed and I also activated another theme, thanks to Jeu where I first noticed this theme.

Doh! It looks that I need to write a script to update the number of comments in the blog-post.

Amit - I didn’t notice a lot of changes in this version except some re-organization and the change in ‘write post’ screen. The biggest change, probably, is the introduction of a rich text editor (TinyMCE) but I have turned it off - so it didn’t make a difference there.
I upgraded primarily because I liked this theme and the theme was available only for the latest version - if I read it well. It’s good to utilize the screen’s real-estate more efficiently
