WordPress 2.5 released
For those who are using Wordpress as their CMS on their site, the new 2.5 has been officially released. User Features includes, (1) Cleaner, faster, less cluttered dashboard, (2) Dashboard Widgets, (3) Multi-file upload with progress bar, (4) Bonus: EXIF extraction, (5) Search posts and pages, (6) Tag management, (7) Password strength meter, (8) Concurrent editing protection, (9) Few-click plugin upgrades, (10) Friendlier visual post editor, and (11) Built-in galleries.
WordPress 2.5, the culmination of six months of work by the WordPress community, people just like you. The improvements in 2.5 are numerous, and almost entirely a result of your feedback: multi-file uploading, one-click plugin upgrades, built-in galleries, customizable dashboard, salted passwords and cookie encryption, media library, a WYSIWYG that doesn’t mess with your code, concurrent post editing protection, full-screen writing, and search that covers posts and pages.
The 2.5 branch is nicknamed “Brecker” in honor of Michael Brecker, an exceptionally talented saxophonist who could cross styles effortlessly and never stopped experimenting and pushing himself until he passed away last year.
If you are planning to upgrade to this new version, I highly recommend to backup your files and database first, in case something goes wrong. Read more about the release at wordpress.org.
As a side note, I’m going to upgrade this blog too in the next couple of days. I’ll just test the new version first on my personal blog, just to make sure the plugins and other things I added doesn’t break.
