WordPress 2.6 is out - upgrade and enjoy!
WordPress 2.6 is now available for download, codename “Tyner” after jazz pianist McCoy Tyner. The good news is that there should be very little incompatibility with plugins and I myself have already conducted three painless upgrades following the usual procedure of replacing the core files and running the upgrade script.
New features in this release are Wiki-like post revisions, so you can roll-back to previous revisions of the same post and compare differences and Google Gears integration to speed up the admin interface! Released almost a month early, it shows a solid commitment from the core dev team.
In addition to this, the new ‘press-it’ function is exciting stuff that I look forward to trying out, allowing you to share and post content to your blog quickly through browser integration. It’s got to be said - this is a big point upgrade, and certainly lays the foundations for some new exciting developments in future upgrades.
