WordPress 2.6

Published by at 7:00 am under Software

The latest version of WordPress, v2.6, was released about a week ago. It has several useful new features. My favorites are the saved revisions, image captions (hooray!), the new Plugin interface, and the ability to make multiple selections (Shift-Click) when managing posts.

There are other very cool improvements that don’t fit with my current workflow. Some I’m thinking of incorporating (Press This looks useful), some might save you time and aggravation on your blog. Photo bloggers – check out the new ability to rearrange the Gallery using drag and drop. If you like to change themes, the new live preview will come in handy.

If you host your own WordPress blog on your web site – I’d recommend this upgrade. I always use the Automatic Upgrade plug in to upgrade this site – and I’d recommend that you use it to upgrade your site as well. If your blog is hosted on WordPress.com – no need to worry. They’ll take care of the upgrade for you.

Here’s a short video WordPress has released detailing the latest changes:
