WordPress 2.9 Released
WordPress 2.9 has been released with some significant upgrades and new features to go along with numerous bug fixes and security updates. This is a major upgrade release
This video will demonstrate some of the new features:
In my opinion, both the new built-in image editor and the “trash” feature will prove useful to may users. Having the new, automated plug-in upgrade feature check for plug-in compatibility with your version of WordPress is a great new feature as well.
I’ve been beta-testing WordPress v2.0b2 for a few weeks on one of my test sites and have had no issues with it. Just the same, I usually wait for the incremental upgrade version before upgrading client’s WP installations.
If you are an OrangeCat WordPress user, you’ll be upgraded to 2.9.1 as soon as it is available.
If you want to be an “early adopter” of 2.9, open a support ticket and I’ll be happy to upgrade you to 2.9 now.
Both BobStovall.com and this blog are running on WordPress 2.9 and beginning today, all new WordPress installations will be of WP 2.9.
