There haven’t been a long time on the launch of WordPress 2.9, of which we are all waiting for so long time. Today WordPress launched WordPress 2.9.1 Beta which had some fixes of scheduled posts and pingbacks errors. As per WordPress Official Blog:
Unfortunately, the recent 2.9 release triggered a bug in certain versions of PHP’s curl extension. With these versions of curl, scheduled posts and pingbacks are not processed correctly. To fix this problem as well as a handful of other, lesser issues, we are quickly releasing 2.9.1, the first maintenance release of the 2.9 line. Help us get 2.9.1 ready to go by testing 2.9.1 Beta 1. The easiest way to test Beta 1 is to install the WordPress Beta Tester plugin, elect to get on the point release development track, and then perform an automatic upgrade via the Tools->Upgrade menu. You can also download the Beta 1 package and install manually. Fourteen tickets have been fixed in 2.9.1 Beta 1. Since the curl problem and a couple of other problems are dependent on specific hosting configurations, any and all testing help is greatly appreciated.
It seems that the error list of WordPress will never end, but the good thing they does launch new versions immediately after fixing those bugs.
If you still do not know about WordPress 2.9 then you should watch the below video, or read about the features of WordPress 2.9.

Ya apparently they forgot to add 3 letters to a line of code, now WP 2.9 forgets your scheduled posts.

yeah, and if you would have searched you already have got the solution about it.
I just upgraded and it seems everything is ok now. However, I did not know why WP was so hurried to release Wp 2.9 version while they knew there were a lot of critical bugs, is that a gift for Xmas?
