WordPress 2.9 has a small bug with the cron jobs feature, so scheduling posts ahead of the time was not working correctly. But WordPress community acted pretty fast to fix everything, and the new release is already available.

You should see a notice to upgrade on your dashboard. Otherwise you can point your browser on WordPress.org and download version 2.9.1 manually.

Don’t wait any further and update

WordPress 2.8.6 is out. This release fixes two security problems that can be exploited by registered, logged in users who have posting privileges.  If you have untrusted authors on your blog, upgrading to 2.8.6 is recommended.

The first problem is an XSS vulnerability in Press This discovered by Benjamin Flesch.  The second problem, discovered by Dawid Golunski, is an issue with sanitizing uploaded file names that can be exploited in certain Apache configurations.
