WordPress 2.5

Its been six months now that we heared about new WP version coming trough, and now bloggers favourite blogging script - WordPress gets another great update.

Lots of user requested features, such are:

  1. Cleaner, faster, less cluttered dashboard
  2. Dashboard Widgets
  3. Multi-file upload with progress bar
  4. 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
  11. Built-in galleries

were introduced, most of all I liked built in galleries support which you can use by simply putting [ gallery] (without the space) tag into you posts.

As for multi-file upload, I dont know why but its not working with my IE7 but looks nice in FireFox. Hope that will get fixed.

There are developer side improvements of course:

  1. Salted passwords
  2. Secure cookies
  3. Easy taxonomy and URL creation
  4. Inline documentation
  5. Database optimization
  6. $wpdb->prepare()
  7. Media buttons
  8. Shortcode API

With new release http://wordpress.org got redesign too, and looks really slick.
