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()
